N317UW

This airframe, registered as N317UW, is a Boeing 737 MAX 8 built in 2025 with manufacturer serial number 68456. It is owned by American Airlines, Inc. (corporation) based in Fort Worth, TX, US, and is registered in the US civil registry. The airframe’s recorded market valuation is $56,200,000, and it is noted as a typical single-operator airliner within American Airlines’ fleet. Entered service in 2025 under the operator’s registry and has been maintained in line with standard carrier practices for a new-production narrowbody.

The cabin configuration for this specific airframe follows a two-class American Airlines pattern with Business arranged 2-2 and Main cabin 3-3, yielding approximately 172 seats in a layout typical for the 737-8 family. With a design range of 3,500 nm and a cruise speed near 453 kts, the aircraft is suited to short- to medium-haul mainline rotations and transcontinental sectors within the operator’s network. Based at Fort Worth, TX, US with American Airlines, this airframe operates under the carrier’s standard operational and maintenance program, meeting required checks and service intervals appropriate to a new-production Boeing 737 MAX 8. Any unique amenities would correspond to the operator’s in-service fit for this subtype and are configured to the carrier’s published two-class standard.

The Boeing 737 MAX 8 family occupies the narrow-body short-to-medium-haul market niche, offering higher efficiency relative to earlier single-aisle models and standard fleet commonality benefits to large network carriers. Demand among mainline operators tends to prioritize seat-count, range performance, and operational economics—attributes reflected in this airframe’s 172-seat layout, 3,500 nm range, and modern LEAP-1B propulsion. From a maintenance and resale perspective, the 2025 build year, manufacturer serial 68456, and current valuation of $56,200,000 are factors influencing mid- and long-term asset management decisions for the owning carrier.
