N17338 2024 Boeing 737-8 MAX

Overview

This airframe, registered as N17338, is a factory-new Boeing Boeing 737-8 MAX (737 MAX 8) built in 2024 with manufacturer serial number 67599. The aircraft is owned by Umb Bank NA Trustee, a corporate trustee based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and appears in corporate trust ownership rather than direct operator possession; placed in trust for financial or leasing arrangements. No additional operator home-base or notable registry actions beyond trust ownership are published for this specific tail.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin of this airframe is configured in an approximate 175-seat high-density single-aisle layout; operator-specific two-class mixes are common but not listed for this airframe, so the fit reflects a high-capacity short- to medium-haul role. Flight-deck and avionics are provided as a standard MAX stack with a Collins Aerospace / Boeing flight-deck avionics fit, suitable for modern airline operational requirements and common avionics training flows. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft would include short- to transcontinental U.S. routes and dense point-to-point markets within a 3,550 nm radius at cruise speeds near 453 kts. Maintenance considerations align with fleet-level LEAP-1B engine support and MAX-series airframe maintenance programs; being owner-held by a trustee suggests leasing or finance-related asset management and routine lessor oversight.

Model & Market Context

The Boeing 737-8 MAX (737 MAX 8) occupies the single-aisle, medium-range niche with improved fuel efficiency and common-type ratings relative to legacy 737NG models. Competitors in the market include current-generation narrowbodies offering similar seat counts and ranges; buyer demand remains strong for efficient 175-seat high-density configurations on dense domestic and regional trunk routes.
