Boeing 737-800 (737-809, BCF converted freighter) (BCF)

Overview

Re-registered in the United States as N919RA in December 2022 after acquisition from China Airlines (formerly B-18615). The airframe has since been moved between U.S. storage and ferry legs to Asia while configured/handled as a BCF (converted freighter) candidate.

Specifications

  • Engines: 2× CFM International CFM56-7B26 (26300 lbf each)
  • Range: 3060 nm
  • Cruise: 460 kts
  • Ceiling: 41000 ft

Operations & Cabin

Converted freighter (BCF) — cargo main deck, no passenger seating Cargo conversion / lower-deck cargo adapted; passenger fittings removed for BCF role

Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered N919RA, is a Boeing 737-800 (factory designation 737-809) with manufacturer serial 30174 / Line 1175, built in 2002 by The Boeing Company. The aircraft is owned by TVPX Trust Services (TVPX Aircraft Solutions Inc.), a corporate owner based in North Salt Lake, UT, US, and is registered in the US. Notable actions in its lifecycle include its Passenger-to-Freighter Boeing Converted Freighter (BCF) conversion, after which it operates as a main‑deck cargo aircraft; its market valuation is listed at $11,000,000, reflecting its converted freighter condition and age.

This specific airframe's cabin has been BCF converted to a freighter configuration, providing a cleared main deck dedicated to cargo with no passenger seating and corresponding structural modifications for pallet and container handling. Avionics fit and detailed equipment lists are not published for this record; operationally the aircraft is optimized for medium‑haul cargo missions with a typical mission profile leveraging its 3,060 nm range and 460 kts cruise for transcontinental and regional freight sectors. Based out of the owner’s location in North Salt Lake, UT, US, the aircraft’s maintenance considerations center on freighter structural checks, cargo door and floor reinforcement inspections, and CFM56‑7B engine shop visit cycles consistent with a 2002 build. The absence of passenger amenities simplifies turnaround and increases usable payload flexibility.

As a member of the 737 Next Generation family, the Boeing 737-800 (737-809, BCF converted freighter) occupies a niche for single‑aisle freighter operations that balance payload and commonality with passenger derivatives. Competing boxes in this market include other converted 737 variants and smaller narrowbodies; demand is typically driven by express and integrator operators seeking medium‑range frequency rather than long‑range intercontinental lift. Maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe reflect its 2002 vintage and conversion status: the converted main deck and aging CFM56‑7B engines influence lifecycle cost, residual value, and specialized market appeal.
