N7600K

This article covers a specific Boeing Business Jet airframe, registered as N7600K, a Boeing 737-7BC BBJ built in 2001 by Boeing Commercial Airplanes with manufacturer serial number 32628. The airframe is recorded as owned by SAS Institute Inc (a corporation based in Cary, NC, US), and is maintained on the US registry under its tail number. Notable registry activity includes its continued US registration and corporate ownership; the airframe is appraised at $50,000,000, reflecting its configuration and market placement among earlier-model BBJs.

The airframe operates as a fixed-wing multi-engine corporate transport, configured with 149 seats that typically reflect a high-capacity BBJ interior layout tailored to either corporate missions or high-comfort transport roles. Avionics and cabin fit are consistent with the Boeing 737-7BC BBJ family baseline, enabling long-range, transoceanic missions up to 6,000 nm and cruise operations near 454 kts at cruise altitudes up to 41,000 ft. Based from Cary, NC, US under SAS Institute Inc ownership, the aircraft’s mission profile likely emphasizes executive transport and extended-range corporate travel; maintenance considerations follow 737 BBJ schedules for CFM56-7B-powered airframes and reflect market valuation at approximately $50,000,000.

The Boeing 737-7BC BBJ occupies a performance niche among narrow-body business jets offering airliner-size cabin volume with extended-range capability; this airframe, with twin CFM56-7B27 engines producing 26,400 lbf each, matches the family’s balance of efficiency and range. Competing models in the large-cabin corporate market include other BBJ variants and converted narrow-body platforms; buyer and charter demand for early-2000s BBJs typically factors age, airframe cycles, and the $50,000,000 valuation into resale and maintenance considerations. Resale prospects and maintenance planning for serial 32628 reflect its corporate registry and sustained US-based operation.
