N628NP

This entry covers airframe N628NP, a Boeing-built airliner completed in 1995 with manufacturer serial number 27809. The airframe is a Boeing 757-2B7 (marketed as the 757-200) currently held by FLOAT ALASKA HOLDINGS LLC, an Anchorage, Alaska–based limited liability company. The aircraft is US-registered and has been operated in a high-density configuration suited to short-to-medium long-range mainline missions; notable registry actions and valuation specifics have not been published. Condition highlights include its continued fit in an operator-configured high-density single-class layout and operation on RB211 series powerplants as listed by the operator.

The cabin of N628NP is configured in a high-density single-class mainline layout with 178 seats, consistent with the reported line-fit for this operator-fit installation. Typical mission profiles for this configuration emphasize higher passenger counts on medium-range routes, exploiting the platform’s 3,900 nm range and cruise speed of 458 knots to serve transregional or dense point-to-point schedules from an Anchorage base or similar hubs. Avionics fit is not published here beyond standard operator listings; maintenance considerations focus on RB211 series engine care and airframe upkeep typical of mid-1990s production 757s. The aircraft’s operation by a specialized float/Alaska-related operator suggests mission planning that accounts for regional weather, short-field operations, and ground support variability.

The Boeing 757-200 family occupies a niche as a narrow-body, medium-to-long-range single-aisle airliner offering higher payload-range performance than many contemporaries of its size. Competing models historically include stretched variants of the Airbus A320 family and stretched narrow-bodies offering similar seat counts and range. Market demand for high-density-configured 757-200s remains in charter, lease, and regional-mainline roles where runway performance, higher cruise speed, and sea-level payload capability — paired with RB211 engine support considerations — influence buyer and operator decisions. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe hinge on engine shop visits for RB211-535E4 units and the availability of qualified 757 airframe support for a 1995 serial-numbered aircraft.
