N9402W

This airframe, registered as N9402W, is a McDonnell Douglas MD-83 (DC-9-83) built in 1992 with manufacturer serial number 53138. It is recorded as owned by Frontera Flight Holdings Inc, a corporate entity based in Dover, DE, US, and carries a United States registration (US). The airframe is fitted with the standard MD-80 series powerplant arrangement and shows a market valuation of $5,000,000, reflecting its age and configuration. Registry entries indicate it remains under corporate ownership with an owner location on file in Dover, Delaware, and no other ownership transfers are documented in the provided data.

The airframe is configured to accommodate 155 seats, consistent with high-density single-class layouts common to the MD-83 variant; no alternate seating or VIP conversions are recorded in the supplied data. Typical mission profiles for this configuration emphasize short- to medium-haul point-to-point operations within the aircraft's 2,550 nm range and cruise speed of 472 kts, operated from the owner's documented base in Dover, DE, US. Avionics fit and specific cabin amenities are not published in the provided information, and maintenance considerations focus on the two Pratt & Whitney JT8D-219 turbofan engines which deliver 21,000 lbf thrust each and are central to propulsion and overhaul planning for this airframe.

The McDonnell Douglas MD-83 (DC-9-83) family occupies a performance niche as a fixed-wing multi-engine, short- to medium-range airliner offering robust seat capacity and moderate cruise speed, exemplified by this airframe's 155-seat configuration and 472 kts cruise. Competing models in its market segment historically include other late-20th-century narrowbodies; buyer and charter demand for legacy MD-80 series aircraft is influenced by factors reflected in this example such as airframe age (built 1992), remaining range (2,550 nm) and a recorded value of $5,000,000. Maintenance and resale considerations for this specific airframe center on lifecycle management of the JT8D-219 engines and the implications of corporate ownership on transferability and continued operations.
