N7848A

This airframe, registered as N7848A, is a Boeing 737-752 built in 2005 with manufacturer serial number 34298. The airframe is recorded as owned by Southwest Airlines Co., a corporation based in Dallas, TX, US, and has been operated in the carrier’s single-class configuration since delivery. Delivered to and continuously operated by Southwest Airlines Co., the aircraft shows a typical in-service history for a line 737-700 derivative used in scheduled short- to medium-haul operations. Current valuation records list the airframe at $22,500,000, reflecting market placement for older, well-maintained Boeing 737 Classics/Next-Generation variants.

The aircraft carries a single-class cabin comprising 143 economy seats arranged to Southwest’s 737-700 standard, optimized for high-density short-haul service and rapid turnarounds. Typical mission profiles include domestic and nearby international routes within the aircraft’s 3,445 nm range, exploiting a cruise speed near 473 kts and operational ceilings up to 41,000 ft. Avionics and systems conform to Boeing Commercial Airplanes’ standard fit for the 737-700 series, with two CFM56-7B24 turbofan engines providing 24,200 lbf of thrust each, a common maintenance and support ecosystem for the type. Maintenance considerations follow the operator’s heavy-check cycles and the aftermarket support network for 737 Next Generation airframes.

The Boeing 737-752 occupies a performance niche as a short- to medium-range narrowbody with moderate seating capacity, competing historically with variants of the Airbus A320 family and regional narrowbodies in airline fleets. Buyer and lease demand for this generation is driven by operators seeking lower acquisition cost and proven operational reliability; resale values such as $22,500,000 reflect age, hours, cycles, and maintenance status. Common market considerations include engine shop visit schedules for the CFM56-7B24, airframe fatigue tracking, and conversion or part-out potential as newer, more fuel-efficient types enter fleets.
