N804SY

Boeing 737-8Q8 airframe N804SY was built in 2001 with manufacturer's serial number 30689 and is registered in the US. The aircraft is owned by SUN COUNTRY INC, a corporation based in Minneapolis, MN, US, and is associated with Sun Country's single-class, high-density operations. Publicly available records do not indicate notable registry actions or transfers beyond its current corporate ownership; no additional ownership changes are published. The airframe's condition is consistent with in-service 737-800s of its vintage, maintained to operator standards for commercial high-utilization short- to medium-haul service.

The aircraft is outfitted in a 189-seat single-class (high-density) cabin configuration typical for Sun Country 737-800 operations, optimized for leisure and scheduled charter markets. Avionics fit is standard for the 737-800 family, supporting typical short- to medium-haul airline operations; specific avionics package details are not published. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include domestic and transborder routes within the stated 3,115 nm range, with cruise operations around 440 kts and routings exploiting the aircraft’s 41,000 ft service ceiling when operationally advantageous. Maintenance considerations reflect high-cycle, high-utilization usage patterns common to high-density-configured aircraft operated by leisure carriers, with line and heavy checks performed per regulatory and operator maintenance programs.

The Boeing 737-8Q8 is a member of the 737 Next Generation family, offering a balance of short- to medium-range performance and high-density seating suitable for point-to-point leisure and charter markets. Its performance niche competes directly with similar narrowbody types in high-capacity single-class roles, where operators prioritize seat-mile economics over premium cabin layouts. Buyer and charter demand for such airframes typically centers on carriers and lessors seeking high-capacity, lower-cost unit operations; maintenance and resale considerations for a 2001-built 737-800 include airframe age, cycle count, and configuration-specific refurbishment costs tied to the 189-seat high-density cabin.
