N27304

This entry covers airframe N27304, a Boeing 737 MAX 8 built in 2023 with manufacturer serial number 67562. The airframe is registered in the US and is recorded as owned by UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, indicating trustee-held corporate ownership rather than individual possession. The aircraft is configured in a mainline two-class layout for United Airlines and retains contemporary equipment standards for new-build MAX series deliveries. No separate public valuation or major incident history is published for this specific airframe.

The airframe is fitted in an approximate 175-seat two-class mainline configuration (United Airlines), reflecting short- to medium-haul mainline service patterns typical for the model. The cockpit is equipped with a Collins Aerospace LCD flight deck, matching modern integrated avionics standards for the type and supporting airline operational procedures and fleet commonality. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft include domestic and transcontinental routes within its 3,550 nm range capability, operating from United’s network hubs; specific base of operation is not published. As an aircraft held by a corporate trustee, maintenance and asset management are likely conducted to lessor/airline standards to preserve value and leasability across operational cycles.

The Boeing 737 MAX 8 occupies the single-aisle mainline sector, delivering fuel-efficient short- and medium-haul performance with a cruise speed around 453 kts and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft. It competes directly with current-generation narrowbodies in airline fleets, addressing replacement and growth demand against alternatives such as the Airbus A320neo family. For buyers and lessors, considerations include LEAP-1B engine maintenance planning and resale dynamics tied to operator configuration (here, a United two-class fit) and trustee ownership structures which can simplify transfer and remarketing processes.
