N829SY

This airframe, registered as N829SY, is a Boeing 737-8F2 (737-800 Next Generation) built by The Boeing Company in 2006 with manufacturer serial number 34414. The airframe is owned by Sun Country Inc (a corporation based in Minneapolis, MN, US) and is registered in the US; acquisition by Sun Country Inc and subsequent operational use established it in a single-operator fleet role. The aircraft carries a single-class, high-density cabin reconfiguration completed in 2020 and is valued at $9,500,000, reflecting its age, seating density, and freighter/low-cost carrier market positioning. As a fixed-wing multi-engine transport, its registry and valuation indicate active commercial use rather than storage or VIP configuration.

The configured cabin of this specific aircraft is Y186, a single-class high-density layout that was reconfigured in 2020, aimed at maximizing passenger capacity for short- to medium-haul scheduled operations. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include domestic and near-international sectors consistent with a 3,115 nm range and cruise speed of 444 kts, operated from Sun Country Inc's Minneapolis base. Avionics and systems are standard for the 737-800 Next Generation family, and maintenance considerations focus on cycle and structural fatigue management inherent to high-density passenger configurations. The airframe’s valuation and dense seating imply an emphasis on revenue flights rather than premium services; routine heavy maintenance and interior refurbishments are typical to sustain commercial dispatch reliability.

The Boeing 737-8F2 (737-800 NG) occupies a core short- to medium-range single-aisle market niche, competing with variants of the Airbus A320 family and used 737 Classic/NG models in airline secondary markets. Its performance—444 kts cruise, 3,115 nm range, and ceiling of 41,000 ft—makes it versatile for domestic networks and trans-border regional routes. Demand among low-cost carriers and charter operators favors high-density cabin versions like Y186, but resale and lease values are influenced by airframe cycles, engine life, and interior condition; the listed value of $9,500,000 reflects these operational and market factors.
