N334SM

The airframe bearing tail number N334SM is a factory-built Boeing 737 MAX 8, delivered in 2019 with manufacturer serial 44478. This airframe is owned by American Airlines, Inc. and is registered in the United States, operating under the carrier's corporate ownership structure since delivery. The airframe's operator and home-base details follow American Airlines' domestic deployment patterns; specific stationing and notable registry actions beyond initial registration are not published. Valuation and detailed condition reports for this individual aircraft are not published.

This specific 737 MAX 8 is configured in a two-class cabin layout with a 172-seat capacity, arranged as 16 First / 156 Main (notated C16Y156). The flight deck is equipped with an airline-fit avionics suite specified to the operator, described as a Collins/airline-specified fit rather than a standardized off-the-shelf trim; this indicates operator-selected avionics and integration tailored to American Airlines' fleet commonality goals. Typical mission profiles for this airframe align with narrow-body medium-haul and transcontinental services within the carrier's route network, leveraging the MAX 8's range and cruise speed for efficient single-aisle operations. Maintenance and amenities reflect airline standards for a mainline carrier; specific unique amenities or maintenance records for this airframe are not published.

The Boeing 737 MAX 8 occupies the single-aisle medium-range market niche, offering around 3,550 nm of range and cruise performance near 453 kts, positioning it against competing models such as the Airbus A320neo family. With two CFM LEAP-1B engines producing approximately 28,000 lbf each, the type targets airlines seeking fuel efficiency and commonality with 737 family operations. Buyer and charter demand typically centers on mainline and low-cost carriers; resale and maintenance considerations emphasize airframe hours, engine shop visits, and avionics fit, where an airline-fit Collins suite can influence transition costs for potential secondary operators.
