Who flies the McDonnell Douglas MD-83
Two questions in one table. Airframes is what each carrier reported owning in its US DOT fleet filing; seats flown is how much of the type it actually operated. They can rank differently, and the gap is the interesting part.
| Operator | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Everts Air Cargo5V | 5 | — | — | 27.6 yr |
| USA Jet AirlinesU7 | 1 | — | — | 36.9 yr |
Airframes are the latest Form 41 filing; seats flown and share are US DOT T-100 for the type's most-flown operators — a dash means a carrier isn't among them (a freighter operator, or one that flies fewer).
