N302SA

This article covers airframe N302SA, a Boeing-manufactured narrow-body jet built in 2019 with manufacturer's serial number 44468. The airframe is owned and operated by the United States corporation American Airlines, Inc., registered in the US, and maintained within the carrier’s American-based fleet structure. Entered service in 2019 and subject to standard U.S. registry actions, the airframe’s documented market valuation is approximately $50,600,000, reflecting its condition as a relatively recent production-model airliner. There are no other recorded ownership transfers or unique registry incidents beyond corporate operation and U.S. registration in the provided data.

As a specific airframe within the Boeing 737-8 MAX series, N302SA is typically deployed by its corporate operator for short- to medium-haul network missions consistent with the model’s design range of 3,550 nautical miles and cruise speed of 453 knots. The aircraft’s two CFM International LEAP-1B turbofan engines, each producing 28,035 lbf, support common airline route profiles that emphasize fuel efficiency and single-aisle capacity. Cabin layout and seating counts are not published in the provided data; however, operation under American Airlines, Inc. implies integration into the carrier’s fleet standards for cabin configuration, avionics fit, and scheduled maintenance programs. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with the MAX family’s continued airworthiness directives and operator-specific heavy-check cycles.

The airframe belongs to the Boeing 737-8 MAX family, a modern single-aisle series positioned for airlines seeking improved fuel efficiency and range over previous 737 generations. Competing aircraft in the market niche include later narrow-body variants from other manufacturers targeting similar short- to medium-haul operations. Buyer and charter demand for a 2019-built MAX with the given specification is influenced by residual value metrics—illustrated by the $50,600,000 valuation—and by ongoing maintenance and regulatory considerations specific to the MAX type. Resale and leasing prospects for this airframe reflect both its relatively recent build year and operator-backed maintenance provenance.
