1989 Boeing 737-300QC
Registration: ZS-TGG
Serial Number: 24278

This 1989 Boeing 737-300QC offers unmatched operational flexibility with its Quick Change configuration, enabling rapid conversion between passenger and cargo operations. Powered by reliable CFM56-3B2 engines, the aircraft has a total airframe time of 68,627 hours with 48,572 cycles. Configured for passengers, it accommodates up to 149 passengers plus four cabin crew seats; in freighter mode, it handles eight full-size cargo pallets and one smaller container. Fully operational and currently parked, it is ready for immediate deployment in either role.

The aircraft has a robust and well-documented service history with reputable operators worldwide. Initially delivered to Varig in January 1989, it later served China Postal Airlines from 2003, Donghai Airlines until 2016, and subsequently South African Airways Cargo, before entering service with Star Air. Consistently maintained throughout its lifecycle, this 737-300QC remains a versatile and dependable platform for operators seeking both passenger transport and efficient cargo operations.

The 1989 Boeing 737-300QC, registration ZS-TGG and serial number 24278, is a versatile quick-change aircraft capable of operating as either a passenger transport or a full cargo freighter. The airframe has accumulated 68,627 hours and 48,572 cycles, reflecting a well-documented service life across international operators. Its structural weight limits provide reliable operational flexibility, with a maximum takeoff weight of 61,235 kg, maximum taxi weight of 61,461 kg, maximum landing weight of 51,709 kg, and a maximum zero fuel weight of 48,307 kg. Fuel capacity totals 17,102 kg through the main wing tanks and integral center wing tank, enabling extended regional operations.

Power is provided by two CFM56-3B2 engines, each matched in hours and cycles since new at 59,844 hours and 43,261 cycles. Both engines show 6,141 hours and 4,243 cycles since last shop visit as of the June 2025 update. A full list of life-limited parts demonstrates consistent tracking of each major rotating component, including booster spools, fan disks, HPC and HPT disks, shafts, seals, and low-pressure turbine components, with cycle limits ranging from 15,000 to 30,000 depending on part class. Cycle remaining margins for most LLPs are strong, supporting continued operation with predictable maintenance planning.

The landing gear assemblies include the nose gear (P/N 65-73762-20, S/N S0245P1142) and both main landing gears (P/N 65-73761-108 and 65-73761-107), each with defined overhaul intervals of 21,000 cycles. All gears show over 20,000 cycles remaining until their next overhaul and carry due-dates in November 2032, providing long-term stability for future scheduling. The APU (P/N 380428-6-5, S/N P-60104) is an on-condition unit with 1,893 hours and 1,243 cycles, meeting operational readiness standards for both passenger and freight missions.

The aircraft is equipped with a complete avionics suite suitable for commercial airline operation, including dual air data computers, dual digital stall warning computers, auto-slat control systems, cabin temperature controllers, FMS units, flight control computers, yaw-damper couplers, ELTs, EFIS symbol generators, dual DME systems, TCAS II 8.1, VHF and HF transceivers, GPS/GLS sensor units, weather radar systems, CVR, DFDR, and numerous flight deck control units and power components. With upcoming maintenance checks scheduled at 68,735 hours for the next A-check and 70,074 hours for the next C-check, the aircraft is aligned for near-term operational deployment with predictable maintenance horizons.
