N592AA

This airframe, bearing tail number N592AA, is a McDonnell Douglas MD-83 (DC-9-83) built in 1991 with manufacturer's serial number 53255. The airframe was manufactured by McDonnell Douglas and is presently owned by FRONTERA FLIGHT HOLDINGS INC, a corporation based in Dover, DE, US; registered to FRONTERA FLIGHT HOLDINGS INC in Dover, DE. Registration is on the US registry. Notable registry actions: Not published. As an older-generation MD-80 series airframe with an assessed market value of $3,000,000, its valuation reflects age, remaining economic life, and aftermarket demand.

The cabin is configured in an Airline 5-abreast (2+3) layout consistent with a typical single-class 172-seat arrangement for this airframe. Avionics fit is described as Collins (operator-specific fit; common Collins/Honeywell suites on MD-80 series), indicating operator-specific installations within the common MD-80 avionics families. Typical mission profiles for this airframe align with short- to medium-haul higher-density airline operations within its 2,550 nm range and cruise speed of 472 kts; operation from the owner’s base in Dover, DE, is implied by ownership location. Maintenance considerations for this individual aircraft are influenced by its 1991 manufacture year and the JT8D-219 engines, which drive lifecycle, parts availability, and shop visit planning.

The McDonnell Douglas MD-83 (DC-9-83) sits in the MD-80 family niche for medium-range, high-density short-to-medium-haul operations, offering seating for 172 in an economical single-class layout. Competing models historically included stretched variants of the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 family; market demand for older MD-80 series airframes tends toward secondary-market operators, charter carriers, and freighter conversions. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe are affected by age (1991), engine type (JT8D-219), and a modest market valuation of $3,000,000, factors that typically influence remaining operational deployment and heavy maintenance scheduling.
