N316SE

The airframe bearing tail number N316SE is a Boeing-built narrowbody delivered in 2020, serial number 44472, and configured as a Boeing 737 MAX 8 (Boeing 737 MAX 8). The aircraft is registered in the US and held in trust by Wilmington Trust Co Trustee (a corporate owner based in Wilmington, DE, US). Operated within the American Airlines fleet as aircraft number 3SE, the type has no public record here of major incidents or registry lapses; ownership remains in corporate trust, indicating financial or lease-structured custody rather than direct airline ownership. Condition and valuation specifics are not published in the supplied data.

This airframe is fitted in an airline two‑class layout consistent with typical MAX installations (manufacturer typical 162–178 seats) and is reported with 175 seats for its certification and service role. The flight deck follows the common MAX fit with Collins Aerospace avionics (Collins Aerospace flight deck (typical MAX fit)), supporting modern navigation, flight management and crew alerting systems used across mainline operations. As part of American Airlines’ fleet the aircraft is typically employed on short- to medium-haul domestic and transcontinental routes that exploit the MAX 8’s fuel efficiency and range of 3,550 nm; cruise planning commonly targets speeds near 453 kts and flight levels up to 41,000 ft for optimized block times and fuel burn. Maintenance and operational considerations reflect typical airliner practices for the model, with trust ownership suggesting centralized asset management and lease-related maintenance record oversight.

The Boeing 737 MAX 8 occupies a single-aisle performance niche focused on fuel efficiency and lower trip costs compared with prior-generation 737 variants; its range and seating capacity make it competitive on medium-density trunk routes. Primary competition in this segment includes Airbus A320neo family members offering similar capacity and range. Buyer and charter demand for MAX 8 airframes centers on mainline carriers and large lessors; resale and maintenance considerations emphasize continued airworthiness directives, avionics commonality (here a Collins Aerospace fit), and fleet integration factors under trust-held ownership and airline operation.
