N806TJ

This airframe, registered as N806TJ, is a member of the Boeing 737-400 series recorded as Boeing 737-400 (737-490) and was built in 1992 with constructor serial number 27081. Ownership is held by EASTERN 737 ASSET HOLDINGS LLC (an LLC based in Kansas City, MO, US), which is the documented owner on civil registry for this airframe. The aircraft carries a US registration and has been noted in records under that registry; registration actions include its listing on the US registry as N806TJ. Condition and valuation highlights are limited to registry and configuration data provided, with its configuration reflecting a high-density charter role.

The cabin is outfitted in an approximate single-class, high-density charter layout accommodating 149 seats, consistent with a workhorse configuration used by charter and high-utilization operators. Typical mission profiles for this configuration emphasize short- to medium-haul sectors within the aircraft’s 2,060 nm range and frequent daily rotations at cruise speeds near 485 kts. The twin CFM56-3C1 engines, each rated at 20,000 lbf, support operations to a maximum certified altitude of 37,000 ft and are a legacy powerplant type for the -400 series, influencing maintenance planning and parts sourcing. The documented owner, EASTERN 737 ASSET HOLDINGS LLC, lists Kansas City, MO as its location, indicating a US-based operator or asset management home base for this tail-registered aircraft.

As a member of the 737 Classic family, the Boeing 737-400 (737-490) occupies a niche for carriers and charter operators seeking high-density, short- to medium-range capacity with proven airframe economics. Competing models during its era included stretched narrowbodies offering similar seat counts but later-generation variants and competing types have eclipsed the -400 in fuel efficiency. Buyer and charter demand for this airframe type tends to focus on secondary markets and ACMI/charter roles where seating density and robustness outweigh fuel burn considerations. Maintenance and resale considerations for this specific airframe are influenced by its 1992 manufacture date, legacy CFM56-3C1 engines, and its high-density interior that may require refurbishment for airlines seeking standard two- or three-class configurations.
