The airframe is recorded as owned by JETRAN LLC, a corporation based in Horseshoe Bay, TX, US, and is registered in the US registry. Ownership and operation have been associated with the corporate entity JETRAN LLC, and the aircraft’s documentation reflects a typical mainline completion and certification for full passenger operation.

The aircraft is outfitted in a typical mainline cabin layout and is reported on operator rosters as configured C16 Business / Y124 Economy, while being certified for up to 172 seats.

The McDonnell Douglas MD-83 (DC-9-83) occupies a niche as a medium-range, high-density single-aisle airliner within the DC-9/MD-80 family, offering straightforward systems and robust JT8D powerplants such as the JT8D-219 fitted to this airframe. Competing models historically include later narrowbodies offering improved fuel efficiency, which affects buyer and charter demand for legacy MD-80 series types. Maintenance and resale considerations for this specific aircraft reflect the broader market factors for older, certified mainline airframes: continued availability of parts and engine support for the JT8D-219, the airframe’s certification for up to 172 seats, and its operational suitability for medium-range routes.
