N27520

This airframe, registered as N27520, is a Boeing 737 MAX 9 completed in 2020 with manufacturer serial number 64498. The aircraft is owned by WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Wilmington, DE, US, and carries a US registration; its legal ownership through a trust indicates financial ownership separated from day-to-day operation. The airframe is configured in United Airlines’ high-capacity two-class layout and is typically operated in a short- to medium-haul role under that standard arrangement. Notable registry entries include its 2020 build and subsequent registration under a Delaware-based corporate trustee, which is common for aircraft held as financed assets.

The airframe carries a cabin code of C20Y159, reflecting a 2-class, 179-seat United Airlines standard high-capacity layout optimized for dense domestic networks. In typical service this configuration supports high-frequency short- to medium-haul routes where seat density and quick turnarounds are prioritized. Avionics and systems are standard for the Boeing 737 MAX series, while maintenance considerations for this specific airframe follow the manufacturer and operator programmes for LEAP-1B–equipped MAX 9s. The trustee ownership implies that financial and title matters are administered by the Wilmington-based corporate trustee while operational control and crew/maintenance are carried out by the operator.

The Boeing 737 MAX 9 occupies the larger end of the single-aisle MAX family, providing extended capacity relative to smaller MAX variants and targeting high-capacity short- to medium-range sectors with a stated range of 3,300 nm and cruise of 447 kts. Competing models in this performance niche include stretched narrowbodies from competing manufacturers; demand tends to center on legacy single-aisle operators and carriers seeking higher seat density. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe will be shaped by its LEAP-1B engines, two-class high-density interior, and its record as a 2020-build aircraft held under a corporate trust.
