N822SY

This airframe, registered as N822SY, is a Boeing 737-8BK built in 2004 with manufacturer serial number 33017. The airframe is operated and owned by Sun Country Inc, a corporate owner based in Minneapolis, MN, US, and carries a United States registration. The aircraft is a high-density single-class configuration maintained for scheduled passenger service; its corporate ownership and home-base in Minneapolis define its operational control and commercial deployment. No additional registry actions or changes are published beyond its current corporate ownership and U.S. registration.

The airframe is outfitted in a single-class high-density cabin certified for 180 seats (Y180), reflecting short- to medium-haul, high-capacity operations typical of leisure and scheduled low-cost carriers. Its twin CFM56-7B26 engines provide the necessary performance for frequent-sector turnarounds and dense seating loads. Based at Minneapolis and operated by the corporate owner, the aircraft’s mission profile centers on domestic and near-international routes within its 2,935 nm ferry/range capability, leveraging a cruise speed near 440 kts for efficient block times. Maintenance considerations align with the 737-800 family norms, emphasizing cycle-based inspections and engine shop visit planning commensurate with high-density operations.

As a member of the Boeing 737 Next Generation family, the Boeing 737-8BK occupies the medium narrow-body segment focused on short- to medium-range trunk routes and dense single-aisle deployments. Its direct competitors include other single-aisle types optimized for high-density seating; buyers and operators commonly value the 737-800 series for its seat-mile economics and established support network. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect typical NG-series lifecycle factors: airframe cycles, engine status of the CFM56-7B26 units, and the market demand for single-class, 180-seat configurations in leisure and low-cost carrier fleets.
