N7550

This entry covers airframe N7550, a McDonnell Douglas DC-9-82 (MD-82) completed in 1991 with manufacturer's serial number 53032. The airframe is registered in the US and is recorded as owned by FRONTERA FLIGHT HOLDINGS INC (a corporation headquartered in Dover, DE, US). Ownership records for this specific airframe do not indicate additional operators or lessees in the supplied data; no other ownership timeline entries are published. Notable registry actions and valuation or condition assessments for this tail are not published in the provided dataset.

The aircraft is outfitted as a 172-seat high-density single-class (5-abreast) cabin, reflecting a high-density short- to medium-haul passenger configuration suited to high-capacity trunk or charter operations. With a cruise speed of 438 kts and a range of 2,050 nm, typical mission profiles for this airframe would center on domestic and near-international sectors where quick turnarounds and seat-density economics are prioritized. The owner's location in Dover, DE, US indicates a likely operational base or administrative address in that region, though specific operator and route assignments are not published. Avionics fit, interior refurbishments, and maintenance history for this specific serial are not published in the supplied information; standard MD-82 maintenance considerations apply, particularly aging JT8D-series engine support and structural fatigue monitoring for early-1990s airframes.

As a member of the MD-80 family, the McDonnell Douglas DC-9-82 (MD-82) occupies a niche as a medium-capacity, short- to medium-range workhorse designed for dense single-aisle operations. Competing types historically included late-model Boeing 737-300/400 series and Airbus A320 family derivatives in used and secondary markets. Buyer and charter demand for this configuration typically emphasizes low capital cost and high seat density, while maintenance and resale considerations focus on aging JT8D engine support, parts availability, and the market impact of higher fuel burn compared with newer narrowbodies.
