N17310

This airframe, registered as N17310, is a Boeing 737-8 MAX built in 2023 with manufacturer's serial number 67566. The aircraft is owned by WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE, a corporation based in Wilmington, DE, US, and is recorded on the US civil registry. Configured and operated in a United mainline layout, the type has been entered into airline service following delivery in 2023; notable registry actions are limited to its US registration and trustee ownership. As a recent-build, single-operator-config airframe, its market valuation is listed at $52,122,275, reflecting near-new condition and current production-series specification.

In its operator configuration the cabin follows a Two-class United mainline layout with 16 Business and 150 Economy seats for a total of 166 passenger positions. The airframe’s mission profile aligns with short- to medium-haul mainline operations typical for the 737-8 MAX family, leveraging the aircraft’s listed cruise speed of 453 kts and a range of 3,515 nm to serve domestic and near-international routes. Maintenance and operational considerations for this specific aircraft reflect standard 737-8 MAX practices, including engine type and thrust rating tied to the LEAP-1B powerplants. Registry and ownership documentation show corporate trustee ownership in Wilmington, Delaware, which can affect leasing or financing arrangements without changing in-service operator configuration.

The Boeing 737-8 MAX occupies the single-aisle, short- to medium-range performance niche with modernized aerodynamics and LEAP-1B propulsion delivering competitive fuel efficiency and thrust at 29,000 lbf per engine. Competing models in the market include other 737 MAX variants and narrowbody types from rival manufacturers targeting similar capacity and range segments. Buyer and lease demand for late-production, low-hour 737-8 MAX airframes remains strong; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe specifically are influenced by its recent build year (2023), trustee ownership structure, and operator-configured two-class cabin.
