N342PM

The airframe bearing tail number N342PM is a Boeing single-aisle jet delivered in 2017 with manufacturer serial number 31269. It is a Boeing Commercial Airplanes-built Boeing 737-823 (737-800 Next Generation, winglets) registered in the United States as US. Ownership is held by WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Wilmington, DE, US, which is recorded as the registered owner; operator and home base information not published. The aircraft’s registry entry and ownership record indicate typical trustee-held corporate title rather than direct airline branding; valuation and detailed condition reports are not published.

The interior for this specific airframe is fitted in a mainline two-class configuration (First + Economy) consistent with a typical American layout seating approximately 160–175 passengers and noted here as 175 seats. The aircraft’s mission profile aligns with short- to medium-haul mainline operations, leveraging a 3,060 nm range and 440 kt cruise for high-frequency domestic and near-international sectors. Avionics and systems conform to the 737-800 Next Generation baseline; specific retrofit or avionics upgrades for this tail are not published. As a trustee-owned asset, maintenance scheduling and records are generally maintained to commercial standards, with custody arrangements reflecting third-party financial ownership rather than operational airline control.

The Boeing 737-823 (737-800 NG) sits squarely in the single-aisle, medium-range market niche, offering operators 160–190 seat capacity with efficient CFM56-7B engines. It competes with Airbus A320ceo-family types on range and seat-mile economics. Demand in the used market favors well-maintained NG airframes for replacement and secondary operators; resale and maintenance considerations include age (2017 build), engine cycles on CFM56-7B24E powerplants, and commonality benefits across airline fleets.
