N316UV

This airframe, registered as N316UV, is a Boeing 737 MAX 8 (737-8) built in 2025 with manufacturer serial number 68108. It is owned and operated by American Airlines, Inc. (corporation based in Fort Worth, TX, US) and carries a United States registration (US). The aircraft entered the American Airlines fleet new from manufacturer production and is valued at approximately $56,200,000 in current listings; its 2025 build year and single-corporate ownership indicate it remains in early-career operational condition with standard manufacturer warranty and initial maintenance reserves intact. Recorded registry actions reflect assignment to American Airlines under U.S. registry soon after delivery in 2025.

The aircraft is fitted in an American Airlines two-class cabin layout comprising approximately 16 First/Business, 24 Premium, and 132 Main Cabin seats for a total of 172 seats, reflecting an operator-configured mix for domestic and transcontinental services. Avionics and systems are not published in the supplied data; typical operational usage for this MAX 8 airframe includes short- to medium-haul mainline routes leveraging its 3,550 nm range and 453 kt cruise speed. Based at American Airlines’ Fort Worth operational base, this airframe follows the airline’s established heavy-line maintenance program and routine checks consistent with manufacturer recommendations for early-build MAX-series aircraft. No unique aftermarket cabin amenities or special role assignments are reported for this specific serial.

The Boeing 737 MAX 8 family occupies a narrow- to medium-haul single-aisle niche offering improved fuel efficiency and range compared with prior Next-Generation 737 models; the 737-8 competes primarily with contemporary narrowbodies in its segment. With two LEAP-1B engines rated at 28,000 lbf each and a 3,550 nm range, demand among major carriers is driven by mainline replacement needs and fleet commonality. For buyers and lessors, early-production 2025 airframes present predictable maintenance profiles and strong resale prospects, though ongoing market values depend on operator configuration, utilization, and broader narrowbody market dynamics.
