N579DS

This airframe, registered as N579DS, is a Boeing-built narrowbody identified as a Boeing 737-800 with manufacturer serial number 68839. The airframe is owned by BOEING CO, a corporation based in Renton, WA, US, and carries a United States registry (US). Although specific build-year and operator lease history are not provided, the current ownership indicates the aircraft remains with its manufacturer or a corporate entity associated with Boeing; this ownership status implies the airframe may be used for test, demonstration, training, or transfer activities related to Boeing’s in-house operations. There are no published separate valuation or condition details for this specific registration in the supplied data.

The cabin of this airframe is outfitted for high-density single-class operation with 189 seats (maximum single-class), matching standard high-capacity layouts for the 737-800 family. Specific avionics fit or interior finish levels are not published in the supplied data; however, the aircraft’s maximum seating and range profile align it with short- to medium-haul trunk routes typical of high-frequency domestic and regional airlines. Based in Renton by ownership, routine operations for a manufacturer-owned frame commonly include ferry flights, production testing, pilot training sorties, or transient charter work in support of Boeing programs, each requiring tailored maintenance cycles and access to factory records and OEM support.

The Boeing 737-800 is a member of the Next-Generation 737 family, positioned in the single-aisle market for 160–189 seat configurations and competing primarily with narrowbody types that serve dense short- to medium-haul markets. With twin CFM56-7B engines rated at 24,200 lbf each, this variant offers a blend of range (3,115 nm) and cruise speed (444 kts) suitable for mainstream airline point-to-point and hub-feeder missions. Market demand for 737-800 airframes has historically been driven by airlines seeking proven reliability and high-density capability; resale and maintenance considerations for this specific manufacturer-owned example would typically hinge on logbook completeness, configuration (maximum single-class 189 seats), and any factory-specific modifications or test instrumentation present.
