N285AM

This airframe, N285AM, is a 2025-built Boeing 737-8 MAX with manufacturer serial number 66299. It is operated by Aeroméxico (operator; aircraft leased from undisclosed lessor) and based in Mexico City, MX, though the aircraft is registered in the US; the arrangement is recorded as leased from an undisclosed lessor. The airframe entered service in 2025 and reflects a new-generation narrowbody allocation to Aeroméxico’s fleet under a leasing arrangement, with standard delivery condition consistent with fresh-production acceptance and line-fit options typical for 2025-build 737 MAX aircraft.

The cabin of N285AM follows Aeroméxico’s standard two-class configuration for this airframe: approximately 16 Business seats, 18 Economy Comfort seats, and 132 Economy seats for a total of ~166 seats, optimized for short- to medium-haul international and domestic trunk routes. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft include transcontinental and regional international sectors within the Americas enabled by a 3,500 nm range and cruise speed near 453 kts; operations are managed from Aeroméxico’s base in Mexico City, MX. As a 2025 production 737-8 MAX, the airframe would be expected to carry contemporary avionics and airline-specific cabin fittings, and to follow the lessor’s and operator’s scheduled heavy maintenance intervals as per manufacturer and regulatory guidance.

The Boeing 737-8 MAX occupies the single-aisle medium-capacity niche, competing directly with latest-generation narrowbodies for similar mission lengths and seating capacities. Powered by CFM LEAP-1B engines delivering 29,200 lbf each, the model emphasizes fuel efficiency improvements over previous 737 NG variants, supporting airline fleet renewal strategies and network flexibility. Demand from carriers and lessors remains focused on fuel-efficient narrowbodies for medium-haul markets; resale and lease considerations for a 2025-built airframe such as N285AM are shaped by engine type, maintenance records, and lease terms with attention to cyclical market values and continuing operational commonality within Aeroméxico’s fleet.
