Originally ordered by Air Berlin in February 2001 and delivered in September 2002, the aircraft changed hands multiple times over the years.

The Boeing 737 series is widely recognized as one of the most popular narrowbody aircraft families globally. Introduced in the late '60s, its next generation—the Boeing 737-600/700/800/900—debuted in 1997 and continued production into the early '10s before being succeeded by the MAX series. Despite this transition, models like JD Vance's Boeing 737-800 remain favored among airlines and charter companies worldwide.

Specifications for the Boeing 737-800 include a length of 129 feet six inches, height of 41 feet two inches, wingspan of 112 feet seven inches, maximum takeoff weight of approximately 174,200 pounds, typical cruise speed of around 455 knots (523 mph), range of about 2,935 nautical miles (3,378 miles), and service ceiling reaching up to approximately 41,000 feet.
