Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N815SY, is a Boeing-built short‑ to medium‑range airliner completed in 2002 with manufacturer serial number 30623. The aircraft is a Boeing 737-8BK (737-800, Next Generation) originally delivered into U.S. registry and is owned by SUN COUNTRY INC DBA, a corporate entity based in Minneapolis, MN, US. The registration is recorded as US, and the airframe is configured in a high-density passenger layout for 149 seats. Registered in the United States under corporate ownership, the airframe has been maintained in line with commercial airline utilization and high-cycle operating patterns common to 737-800s of its vintage.

The aircraft is outfitted in a 149-seat airline passenger configuration (high-density single-aisle) cabin optimized for short- to medium-haul revenue operations, reflecting typical high-density seating used on leisure and scheduled services. Its mission profile under SUN COUNTRY INC DBA is consistent with point‑to‑point and network feeder routes within the continental United States and to nearby international destinations, leveraging the 3,115 nm range and cruise speed of 444 kts. Avionics and systems conform to Boeing 737 Next Generation standards, with maintenance considerations driven by high-cycle commuter service and the cumulative structural and engine wear patterns characteristic of early‑2000s 737-800s. Routine heavy maintenance and adherence to operator-specific configuration management are primary considerations for continued revenue service.

The Boeing 737-8BK (737-800, Next Generation) sits in the single‑aisle narrowbody market as a workhorse for short‑ to medium‑range scheduled carriers, competing with variants of the Airbus A320 family in payload‑range and seating density. With twin CFM56-7B24 engines producing 24,200 lbf each, the model balances operating economics and reliability for high-frequency operations. For buyers and lessors, airframes from 2002 such as 30623 require scrutiny of maintenance records, cycle counts and cabin refurbishment status when assessing resale or conversion value, while operators prioritize engine shop visits and structural inspections due to high utilization.
