McDonnell Douglas MD-88SF

The last and youngest of the MD-80 freighters, chosen when airframe age and cockpit fit both matter.

Youngest airframes

Newer airframes carrying the same narrowbody payload

Later production and a glass cockpit set this variant apart, though the freight numbers match the MD-82SF: 21100 kg of payload, 160 m3 of hold and twelve ULD positions reached through a 345cm by 215cm door.

Specify it when a lessor or insurer cares about build year, or when a crew wants the newer flight deck for demanding approaches. Operating economics are much the same as the rest of the family, so expect similar rates rather than savings.

Ad hoc industrial airlift

McDonnell Douglas MD-88SF available for charter through Fliteline

An unplanned production line stoppage that needs tooling and components flown in the same day, with a full main deck of ULDs rather than a part load.
