N17229

The airframe bearing tail number N17229 is a Boeing Commercial Airplanes-built Boeing 737-824 (737-800) completed in 1999 with manufacturer serial number 28793. The airframe is held in corporate trust by UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE, a corporation based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and is registered in the US. Operator and home-base details are Not published, and formal registry action history is Not published. Valuation and public condition assessments for this specific airframe are Not published.

As a standard Boeing 737-800 derivative, this airframe is configured for a single-aisle, short- to medium-haul role with a seating density of 149, consistent with typical high-density narrowbody layouts. Specific cabin fittings, galley and lavatory arrangements, and in-flight entertainment or premium-class accommodations are Not published for this individual aircraft. Typical mission profiles enabled by its performance—2,935 nm range and 440 kt cruise—include domestic trunk routes and thin long-range sectors within contiguous regions; however, the aircraft’s current operator base and scheduled services are Not published. Maintenance considerations follow the established 737NG (Next Generation) fleet practices for airframes powered by CFM56-7B engines, including scheduled line and base checks aligned with manufacturer and regulatory programs.

The Boeing 737-824 (737-800) occupies the broadly adopted single-aisle market niche for short- to medium-range commercial operations, offering a balance of passenger capacity (149 seats) and operational efficiency with the ubiquitous CFM56-7B engine. Competing types in this sector historically include similarly sized narrowbodies from competing families; residual demand for well-maintained 737-800s remains robust among airlines and lessors, particularly for replacement of older classic-generation types. Prospective buyers or lessors reviewing an airframe such as N17229 would weigh age (built 1999) and maintenance records against operating economics and aftermarket support when assessing resale and entry-into-service considerations.
