Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N738A, is a Boeing 737-7AX (737-700, Next-Generation) built in 2000 with manufacturer serial number 30182. The airframe was originally delivered in a VIP/executive cabin fit and was noted as serving Saudi Aramco in its original configuration before being reconfigured for government use. It is currently owned and operated by U S MARSHALS SERVICE, a government operator based in Oklahoma City, OK, US, and serves in transport roles for the U.S. Department of Justice and related missions. Public registry action details and specific valuation figures are not published for this government-owned asset.
The cabin for this specific 737-700 was originally configured as a VIP/executive interior for Saudi Aramco and was subsequently reconfigured for U S MARSHALS SERVICE and Department of Justice transport missions; the exact seat layout following conversion has not been publicly released. The aircraft operates as a fixed-wing, multi-engine government transport based out of Oklahoma City, OK, US, performing medium- to long-range transport missions within its approximately 3,445 nm range and typical cruise at 453 kts. Avionics fit and detailed mission-specific modifications are not disclosed; maintenance and configuration considerations follow government asset management practices for converted VIP-to-government utility roles.
The Boeing 737-7AX is part of the Next-Generation 737 family, offering a blend of short- to medium-haul performance with a typical cruise in the low 400s knots and a service ceiling to 41,000 ft. In its market niche the 737-700 competes with similarly sized narrowbody types for government, corporate, and short- to medium-range commercial roles, and is often evaluated on airframe hours and conversion history. For this airframe, the prior VIP configuration and later government reconfiguration are primary resale and maintenance considerations, with detailed configuration and mission-specific systems influencing its operational lifecycle.
