N338PK

This airframe, registered as N338PK, is a Boeing 737-823 (737-800) built in 2017 with manufacturer serial number 31268. The certificate lists the owner as WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Wilmington, DE, US, which indicates institutional ownership rather than direct airline title; no alternate operators or lease assignments are published in the provided data. The aircraft carries a US registration and, based on its build year and configuration, would typically be active in short- to medium-haul service with normal maintenance intervals for the type. Known registry details focus on its trustee ownership rather than distinct operator transitions or notable incidents.

The certificateed cabin for N338PK is recorded as a Two-class American Airlines–typical layout with approximately 16 business class and 156 economy seats, though the overall seating capacity listed is 175 and airline configurations may vary. With twin CFM56-7B24E engines and a cruise speed of 473 kts, this airframe is optimized for point-to-point domestic and transcontinental missions within a roughly 3,060 nm range, supporting dense short- to medium-haul routings. Maintenance considerations follow the standard 737NG program for CFM56-powered variants, and trustee ownership suggests management through a financial or leasing structure rather than direct operational control by the registered owner.

As a Boeing 737-823 (737-800) airframe, N338PK belongs to the high-volume 737 Next Generation family, which occupies the short- to medium-range single-aisle market niche with strong demand from airlines and lessors. Competing models in similar missions include Airbus A320ceo-series variants; market preferences hinge on fleet commonality and engine type, here the widely used CFM56-7B series. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2017-built aircraft center on typical NG lifecycle items—engine shop visits, airframe checks, and interior refurbishment—while trustee ownership can influence remarketing and lease placement strategies.
