N188AM

This airframe, registered as N188AM, is a Boeing 737-8 (737 MAX 8) completed in 2024 with manufacturer's serial number 66298. The aircraft is recorded as owned by Bank of Utah Trustee (a corporation based in Salt Lake City, UT, US), with the corporate lessor listed as the primary holder of title. The airframe carries a United States registration and is equipped to modern linefit standards typical of its production year. No additional operator changes or notable registry actions are published beyond the recorded corporate ownership.

The cabin is fitted in an operator configuration code C16Y150, providing approximately 16 business class seats and 150 economy seats in a single-aisle two-class layout suited to short- to medium-haul trunk routes. Avionics are the updated MAX flight deck from Collins Aerospace, featuring large-format displays that support advanced flight-management and situational-awareness functionality. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include high-frequency scheduled services where a 175-seat capacity and a 3,550 nm range permit both dense domestic sectors and transcontinental routes within the same fleet type. As a corporate-owned asset, routine maintenance and leasing documentation are likely managed through the trustee structure in Salt Lake City, with standard MAX-type maintenance considerations for LEAP engines and flight-deck software common to the series.

The Boeing 737-8 (737 MAX 8) occupies a performance niche focused on fuel-efficient single-aisle replacement and growth capacity versus prior 737 Next Generation variants, combining improved range and cruise performance. Competing models include Airbus A320neo-family types and other re-engined single-aisles offering similar seat counts and mission flexibility. For buyers and lessors, considerations center on LEAP engine maintenance cycles, MAX-series avionics updates such as the Collins Aerospace large-format displays, and residual-value trends tied to narrowbody demand; the configuration C16Y150 makes this airframe broadly deployable for legacy carriers and low-cost operators alike.
