The McDonnell Douglas MD-83 is an extended-range member of the MD-80 series, which was developed in the mid-1970s as a successor to the DC-9. The series was initially called the Douglas DC-9 Super 80 and was first introduced in 1980; the MD-83 entered service in 1985. Chartering a McDonnell Douglas MD-83 allows customers to cover distances of about 2,500 nm with maximum comfort.
Charter a McDonnell Douglas MD-83 private jet:
The McDonnell Douglas MD-83 differs from previous models with more fuel-efficient engines, a longer fuselage, and improved wing aerodynamics. The aircraft also has a T-shaped tail, a more efficient wing structure, and modern avionics, competing with the Boeing 737 Classic. In addition, five MD-80 series versions (MD-81, MD-82, MD-83, MD-87 and MD-88) with different take-off weights, ranges, and passenger numbers were produced.
The cabin of the McDonnell Douglas MD-83 is equipped following international aviation standards. Noteworthy in the design of the aircraft is the communication system and a unique seating arrangement.
On charter the MD-83 is a whole-aircraft solution for 120–155 passengers on one itinerary — sports teams, incentive groups, crew rotations and relocation flights — on sectors up to roughly 2,500 nautical miles, which covers Miami–Los Angeles or New York–the Caribbean nonstop. Most MD-83s available for charter are configured as all-economy or two-class airliners; VIP interiors exist but are rare and quoted case by case.
