N17311 2023 Boeing 737-8 MAX

Overview

This airframe, registered as N17311, is a Boeing 737-8 MAX built in 2023 with manufacturer serial number 67567. The aircraft is owned by United Airlines (corporation) and carries a US registration; delivery and service history beyond current corporate ownership are not published in the supplied data.

Operations & Cabin

The airframe is outfitted in a two-class, airline-configured cabin with a typical capacity of 166 seats; the listed/typical capacity aligns with short- to medium-haul mainline service profiles. Avionics fit is provided as a Collins Aerospace / modern Boeing flight deck, reflecting an airline-specified avionics installation typical for 737 MAX 8 operators. Typical missions for this configuration would include domestic and transcontinental routes within the aircraft’s 3,500 nm range and climb/cruise profiles up to its 41,000 ft ceiling at a cruise speed near 453 kts. Maintenance and operational planning for this airframe follows standard fixed-wing multi-engine commercial airline practices pertinent to LEAP-1B-powered 737-8 MAX aircraft, including type-specific inspections and engine maintenance programs.

Model & Market Context

The Boeing 737-8 MAX family occupies the single-aisle, short- to medium-range market niche with fuel-efficient LEAP-1B turbofans and modern avionics suites intended for high-utilization mainline carriers. Competing models in the segment include other latest-generation narrowbodies from rival manufacturers targeting similar mission profiles and seat counts. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect its recent build date (2023), factory-new systems, and operator ownership by a major network carrier (United Airlines), factors that generally support strong market demand and predictable maintenance tracking.
