N17314

This airframe, registered as N17314, is a 2023-built Boeing 737 MAX 8 (737-8) with manufacturer serial number 67569. The aircraft is owned by WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Wilmington, DE, and is registered in the US. As a relatively new airframe delivered in 2023, N17314 carries a book value of $104,000,000 and is configured in the United mainline two-class single-aisle layout typically seen on 162–178 seat MAX 8s. Held in trust under corporate ownership, the aircraft's status reflects institutional asset management rather than individual private ownership.

The cabin on N17314 follows a United mainline two-class single-aisle layout within the typical 162–178 two-class seating range and is certified for mainstream short- to medium-haul scheduled operations. With a seating count of 175, the airframe is optimized for high-density domestic and transcontinental sectors consistent with United's route network and the aircraft's 3,500 nm range and 453 kt cruise. Avionics and systems are those standard to the Boeing 737 MAX 8 family; maintenance considerations emphasize LEAP-1B engine care cycles and airframe tracking typical for a 2023 delivery. As a trust-held asset, scheduling, leasing, or deployment decisions are likely managed through institutional arrangements rather than individual operator direct ownership.

The Boeing 737 MAX 8 (737-8) occupies the single-aisle, medium-range market niche, offering improved fuel efficiency and commonality with the 737 family. Competing models target similar missions, and demand from major carriers for this class remains centered on high-frequency domestic and short international routes. Resale and maintenance considerations for N17314 will reflect the LEAP-1B engine support, airframe age (2023 build), and its two-class, 175-seat configuration which aligns with mainstream airline fleet requirements.
