The cabin for N804WA is reported in an operator-configured high-density single-class layout, with a reported seating capacity of 155 passengers. In service, this MD-83 airframe would typically be deployed on short- to medium-range sectors consistent with its 2,500 nm range and high-density seating, operating from its corporate base in Miami, FL, US. Specific avionics fit and bespoke passenger amenities are not published in the supplied dataset; maintenance and operational planning for this individual aircraft centers on the two Pratt & Whitney JT8D-219 powerplants and the airframe’s age since its 1987 manufacture, which are primary considerations for continuing airworthiness management and parts provisioning.

The DC-9-83 (MD-83) occupies a performance niche as a short- to medium-range narrow-body jet within the MD-80 family, offering cruise speeds around 472 kts and a maximum operating ceiling near 37,000 ft. Competing models in its market era include later-generation regional and single-aisle types offering improved fuel efficiency; demand in secondary markets or for high-density charters often focuses on buyers able to accommodate legacy JT8D-series engine support. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect its serial identity 49345, original manufacture in 1987, and the latter-day availability of parts and overhaul capability for the JT8D-219 engines.
