Model & Market Context

This airframe, registration N972EX, is a Boeing 737-505 built in 1991 with manufacturer serial number 24645. The airframe is powered by a twin-engine configuration and carries a U.S. registration under the corporate owner BALLAIR AVIATION HOLDINGS LLC, based in Laud By Sea, FL, US. Recorded ownership is corporate and based in Laud By Sea, Florida; no other operators or registry events are listed. Condition and valuation details beyond basic specification data are not published.

The 149-seat configuration of this specific Boeing 737-505 implies a single-aisle, high-density cabin layout suitable for short- to medium-haul operations within the aircraft’s 2,380 nm range. Typical mission profiles for this airframe would center on domestic and regional services operated out of its registered base in the United States under corporate ownership, although no specific operator schedule is published. Avionics and interior fit are not detailed in the available data; maintenance considerations for a 1991-built airframe with CFM56-3C1 engines typically focus on age-related inspections, life-limited component tracking, and engine-specific shop visit histories, none of which are provided here. Unique cabin amenities or retrofit history are not published.

The Boeing 737-500 series represents a smaller, shorter-fuselage variant within the Next Generation lineage, balancing efficient short-haul economics with commonality to larger 737 variants. With cruise performance near 485 kts and a service ceiling of 37,000 ft, the airframe competes operationally with other narrow-body types in regional and domestic markets. Buyer and charter demand for early 1990s 737-500s tends to be influenced by airframe age, remaining structural and engine life, and the availability of parts and certified avionics upgrades; resale and maintenance considerations for this specific serial typically hinge on documented maintenance status and any supplemental equipment fit, which are not published for this record.
