N982TW

This airframe, registered as N982TW, is a McDonnell Douglas MD-83 (DC-9-83) built in 1999 with manufacturer serial number 53632. The aircraft is owned by JETRAN LLC, a corporation based in Horseshoe Bay, TX, US, and is registered in the US as a fixed-wing multi-engine transport. Public documentation for earlier operators, detailed ownership timeline prior to the current corporate owner, and formal recent valuation or condition grading are not published in the supplied data. The airframe’s configuration and owner location indicate a likely base of operations in the United States with corporate or charter utilization consistent with its high-density seating and range capability.

The aircraft is equipped in a high-density single-aisle passenger layout, typically seating ~172 passengers, suited to short- to medium-haul high-capacity missions. Operated under corporate ownership by JETRAN LLC of Horseshoe Bay, TX, the MD-83 airframe’s typical mission profile would encompass dense scheduled or ad hoc charter routes within its 2,550 nm range and cruise speeds near 472 kt, operating from domestic US fields up to its service ceiling of 37,000 ft. Specific avionics fit, onboard amenities, and tailored cabin modifications for this particular serial are not published in the provided data. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow MD-80 family common practices, with attention to aging JT8D-219 engine support, structural life limits, and parts availability relative to legacy airliner logistics.

The McDonnell Douglas MD-83 (DC-9-83) occupies a legacy narrowbody niche delivering high-density capacity and robust short- to medium-range performance compared with contemporary regional jets and older narrowbodies. Buyers and charter operators value the type for its seating density and straightforward systems, while maintenance and resale considerations hinge on engine support for the JT8D-219, airframe hours, and the secondary-market appetite for high-density passenger configurations.
