N343PN

This airframe, registered as N343PN, is a Boeing 737-823 (737-800) built in 2017 with manufacturer serial number 31270. The airframe is owned by WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Wilmington, DE, US, and is registered in the United States. Operator identity and operational base are Not published; the aircraft's documented history is dominated by trustee ownership and standard U.S. registry records rather than notable airline-specific events. Valuation and specific condition reports are Not published; available disposition data indicate typical mid-life status for a 2017-series 737-800 held in corporate trustee ownership.

The cabin is fitted in an operator-typical multi-class layout and is commonly reported as approximately 16 Business / 24 Economy Comfort / 132 Economy, although the specific operator fit may vary. Avionics and interior fit are consistent with in-service 737-800 operator configurations from the late 2010s; specific avionics suite and retrofit records are Not published. Typical mission profiles for this airframe class include short- to medium-haul scheduled services and higher-utilization point-to-point leisure or domestic trunk routes consistent with the 3,060 nm range and 450 kts cruise. Maintenance considerations follow standard Boeing 737NG scheduled checks and life-limited component tracking; trustee ownership may reflect asset management or lease-backed operational control rather than line-operator ownership.

The Boeing 737-823 variant belongs to the 737 Next Generation family, occupying a performance niche for single-aisle medium-range operations with seating around 175 passengers. It competes commercially with narrowbody models offering similar payload-range and seat-density economics; typical market alternatives include contemporary Airbus A320-family aircraft. Buyer and charter demand for 737-800s remains driven by fleet commonality and parts availability, while maintenance and resale considerations focus on engine cycles for the CFM56-7B24E, airframe hours, and interior reconfiguration costs where operator cabin fits vary.
