McDonnell Douglas MD-88
The McDonnell Douglas MD-88 is the fifth and last variant of the MD-80 family. It is very similar to the MD-81, MD-82, & MD-83 in terms of size and capacity but it has some additional operational improvements including upgrades to various systems. The MD-88 typically flew medium to long range routes with moderate demand. Like the other preceding variants, MD-88 aircraft have either been converted into freighters or have been retired & replaced with more fuel efficient and/or higher capacity aircraft.
