Operator and home base details are Not published in the provided data. The airframe carries a book value of $54,000,000, reflecting a relatively recent production year and standard mainline configuration.

The aircraft is fitted in a two-class United mainline cabin layout with a total of 166 seats configured as 16 premium and 150 economy, indicating deployment on short- to medium-haul domestic and transcontinental services consistent with carrier mainline use. Avionics are listed as Collins Aerospace avionics though the data notes that airline fit may vary, so configured flight decks can differ by operator. Typical mission profiles for this configuration include high-frequency scheduled airline rotations within a roughly 3,500 nm range and cruise at about 453 kts to maximize block-hour utilization. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe include lifecycle and leasing administration under trustee ownership, with operator-specific heavy checks and avionics updates determined by the airline's maintenance program.

The Boeing 737-8 MAX occupies the single-aisle narrowbody performance niche focused on improved fuel efficiency and range versus earlier 737 Classic/NG variants, with the LEAP-1B28 engines delivering approximately 29,317 lbf each. Competing models in the market include Airbus A320neo family types and other MAX variants, with buyer demand influenced by fleet commonality, range of 3,500 nm and seat counts around 166 for dense mainline layouts. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2021-built airframe include remaining structural life, engine shop visit scheduling, and avionics upgrade paths tied to airline-specific installs, all factors that inform market value and remarketing prospects.
