N13248

This article covers airframe N13248, a Boeing 737-824 (737-800) built in 1999 with manufacturer serial number 28808. The aircraft is recorded as owned by UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE (a trustee/corporation based in Salt Lake City, UT) and is registered in the US. The airframe's operator history and base of operations are not published beyond its trustee ownership; it carries a reported market valuation of $17,550,000, indicative of a late-1990s airliner in active service or storage depending on maintenance status. No specific registry actions or transfers beyond the trustee listing are published in the supplied data.

The cabin for N13248 is reported in fleet listings as a two-class layout, representative configuration C16 / Y144, accommodating a total of 149 seats with a modest premium-class complement. With a published range of 2,935 nm and a cruise speed near 454 kts, this airframe is typically employed on short- to medium-haul trunk routes, point-to-point domestic or regional services, and higher-density charter operations compatible with its seating density. The twin CFM56 engines are common to the 737NG family, supporting widespread MRO familiarity and parts availability; however, as an airframe from 1999, ongoing maintenance, component life limits and possible retrofit costs for cabin or avionics upgrades are relevant considerations for operators or trustees managing asset value. The registration in the US suggests compliance with Federal Aviation Administration records and oversight.

The Boeing 737-800 airframe, such as N13248, sits in the highly competitive single-aisle market serving short- to medium-range routes, competing historically with variants of the Airbus A320 family. The model’s combination of seating for roughly 149 passengers, a cruise near 454 kts, and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft makes it suitable for dense domestic networks and third-party charter markets. Buyer and lessee demand for 737-800s remains driven by airframe condition, engine cycles on the CFM56-7B series, and total-life considerations; resale and lease-rate factors for an aircraft valued at $17,550,000 will reflect maintenance status, remaining structural life, and any required upgrades to meet current airline or lessor specifications.
