Boeing 727 aircraft continue to operate in North America, serving various purposes such as cargo transportation, private charters, and specialized flights. Seven operators, including USA Jet Airlines and Gulf & Caribbean Cargo, maintain one or two active Boeing 727s in their fleets.
According to data from ch-aviation.com for July 2024, there are eight active Boeing 727 aircraft among these seven operators. While more aircraft are stored and could potentially return to service, the current active fleet highlights the enduring presence of this iconic airliner.
USA Jet Airlines operates two Boeing 727-200(F) variants for cargo use from its base at Detroit Willow Run (YIP) in Michigan. Both aircraft were originally delivered to American Airlines before being converted for cargo operations.
