N5693A

This airframe, registered as N5693A, is a Boeing-built airliner constructed in 1999 with manufacturer serial number 29947. Delivered originally as part of Boeing Commercial Airplanes production, the airframe has been adapted from passenger configuration and is presently owned by Amazon Prime Air (operated by Sun Country Airlines), a United States-based corporation; operations are conducted under Sun Country Airlines’ operator management. The airframe has a main-deck freighter conversion and is maintained to fulfill dedicated cargo missions for its corporate owner, with registry and operational details recorded on the US register.

The aircraft operates as a main-deck freighter after conversion to a Boeing Converted Freighter (BCF) configuration, with pallet and container capability and no passenger seating, allowing high-density cargo loading on the main deck. Typical mission profiles prioritize medium- to long-range domestic and regional transcontinental routes within the United States and to near-oceanic destinations, exploiting a range of 3,115 nm and a cruise speed near 444 kts. The conversion removes passenger accommodations in favor of cargo handling systems and palletized restraint fittings; the conversion to a BCF configuration and corporate operation by Amazon Prime Air under Sun Country’s operational control are the defining features of this particular airframe. Maintenance attention centers on freighter-specific floor loading, door and cargo-handling system integrity, and continued airframe lifecycle monitoring since its 1999 manufacture.

As a member of the Boeing 737 Next Generation family, the Boeing 737-800 (BCF / 737-84P) occupies a niche for single-aisle, short- to medium-haul freight conversion demand, replacing older narrowbodies in regional cargo fleets. Competing platforms for converted narrowbody freighter roles include Airbus A320-family conversions and older 737 Classic freighters; the NG series often commands steady demand due to commonality with passenger fleet maintenance practices and availability of robust CFM56-7B engines. For operators and buyers, considerations include remaining structural fatigue life from a 1999 build, conversion status, and aftermarket support for the CFM56-7B26 powerplants and freighter systems.
