As a stretched variant of the DC-9, the MD-83 featured improved fuel efficiency and extended range capabilities, making it ideal for medium-haul routes. With a length of approximately 45.06 m (147 ft 10 in), wingspan of 32.87 m (107 ft 10 in), and height of 9.05 m (29 ft 8 in), the aircraft could accommodate up to 155 passengers in typical configurations. The MD-83 was powered by two Pratt \u0026amp; Whitney JT8D-219 engines and became a workhorse for many airlines throughout the 1980s and 1990s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e🇫🇷 About the Airline\u003cbr\u003eMinerve was a French charter airline (Compagnie Française de Transports Aériens) that operated from 1975 to 1992, specializing in leisure and holiday flights primarily to Mediterranean destinations.
