N809TA

The airframe bearing registration N809TA is a converted freighter of type Boeing 737-209(Adv)(F), built by Boeing in 1987 with manufacturer's serial number 23796. This specific airframe has been associated with corporate ownership under Transair, a corporation located in the United States, and is recorded on the US registry. Registered to Transair, a United States-based corporation, the airframe's operator/home base details beyond corporate location are not published. Notable registry actions and detailed valuation or condition assessments for this individual airframe are not published, limiting public disclosure to construction, configuration and ownership provenance.

The airframe is configured as a freighter following cargo conversion, with the cabin dedicated to freight and no published passenger seating count. Typical mission profiles for this freighter conversion emphasize medium-range, high-utilization cargo operations compatible with the aircraft’s published range of 1,860 nm and cruise of 430 kts. Avionics fit and specific cabin layout details for this particular conversion are not published; maintenance considerations focus on aging-series airframe and JT8D propulsion systems that require operator-specific programs. Based on the ownership, operations are conducted under US registry oversight, and maintenance scheduling and parts provisioning would be aligned with corporate freighter operations in the United States.

The Boeing 737-200 advanced freighter variant occupies a niche for short- to medium-range cargo missions where rugged field performance and lower acquisition cost offset older-engine fuel burn characteristics. In market terms, this family competes with other converted narrow-body freighters and turbofan- and turboprop-based freighters for regional cargo services. Buyer and charter demand typically targets operators prioritizing payload flexibility and lower acquisition price rather than fuel efficiency; maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe center on the vintage airframe year (1987) and JT8D series engine logistics.
