N737KR

This entry describes a single Boeing 737-700 BBJ airframe registered as N737KR, built in 2001 with manufacturer serial number 29791. The aircraft is a purpose-built VIP executive variant of the 737-700 family and is recorded in ownership as owned by TVPX AIRCRAFT SOLUTIONS INC TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in North Salt Lake, UT, US. The type is registered in the US civil registry and appears in operator listings specifically noted for its VIP configuration. Ownership and operator listings identify the airframe primarily in a corporate/VIP role rather than airline service.

The airframe carries a VIP executive BBJ layout as recorded in operator listings, indicating a reconfigured cabin emphasizing executive accommodations rather than standard airline seating. Typical missions for this configuration include long-range corporate, government, or private charter flights within the airframe’s 5,735 nm capability and at cruise speeds near 473 kts to high-altitude cruise levels up to 41,000 ft. The twin CFM56-7B engines provide the type-standard thrust rating of 26,300 lbf each, supporting efficient operations on extended-range sectors. Maintenance considerations follow the fixed-wing multi-engine business-jet style inspection cycles adapted to the BBJ platform, and the VIP layout implies bespoke interior systems and outfitting that may affect weight and payload planning.

The Boeing 737-700 BBJ (737-7BH) occupies a niche as a narrow-body business jet offering intercontinental-ish range in a corporate/VIP format, balancing cabin size with single-aisle operating economics. Competing models typically include other large-cabin corporate conversions and long-range business jets; demand centers on governments, charter operators, and ultra-high-net-worth corporate operators seeking a certified airliner platform with VIP amenities. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect its 2001 build year and bespoke VIP outfitting, which can influence refurbishment needs and aftermarket valuation relative to passenger-configured 737-700s.
