N9622A

This airframe, registered as N9622A, is a McDonnell Douglas-built MD-83 (DC-9-83) completed in 1998 with manufacturer serial number 53593. The airframe is recorded as owned by JETRAN LLC, an LLC based in Horseshoe Bay, TX, US, and is registered in the US. As a later-series DC-9 derivative built by McDonnell Douglas, this specific MD-83 reflects the common configuration and mission set of late-production airframes in the type’s service life.

The aircraft is typically outfitted in a high-density single-class cabin consistent with MD-83 airline layouts, with this airframe configured to 172 seats within the usual 168–172 seat range for MD-83 high-density interiors. Avionics fitment varies by operator; legacy Collins and Honeywell suites are commonly fitted on MD-83s, with operator-specific upgrades possible for modernisation. With a cruise speed of 472 kts and a range of 2,498 nm, operational use for this airframe suits medium-range point-to-point routes and charter or high-density scheduled operations based from its owner’s location in Horseshoe Bay, TX, US. The twin JT8D-series engines reflect the vintage propulsion common to the type and inform typical maintenance and operational planning for the platform.

The McDonnell Douglas MD-83 (DC-9-83) occupies the medium-range, single-aisle niche within the DC-9/MD-80 family, offering a blend of relatively high cruise speed and substantial seating capacity for dense short- to medium-haul networks. With a certified service ceiling of 37,000 ft and the specified performance figures, the type remains suited to charter, regional trunk, and dense scheduled missions where high-density seating is a priority. Market and resale considerations for this airframe are influenced by its legacy avionics baseline and JT8D-series engines, factors that typically drive operator decisions on upgrades or role changes during secondhand transactions.
