Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing registration N552WN is a Boeing 737-7BX (commercial designation 737-700, with winglets) built by The Boeing Company in 2001 with manufacturer serial number 30744. The documented owner is UMB Bank N.A., Trustee, a corporate trustee based in Salt Lake City, UT, US; this ownership is recorded in public transfer filings and represents the primary recorded financial owner rather than an operator. Operator and home base information for this specific tail number are Not published. Notable registry actions beyond the recorded ownership entry are Not published, and valuation or current condition assessments for this individual airframe are Not published.
This airframe, as a 737-700 variant, typically supports single-aisle narrowbody cabin configurations tailored to short- to medium-haul passenger or combi roles; specific seating and interior fit for N552WN are Not published. Avionics fit on 737-7BX examples commonly reflect Boeing’s Next Generation flight deck standards of the period, though retrofit or refurbishment entries for this serial are Not published. Typical mission profiles for the type include domestic and regional routes within a transcontinental range up to the aircraft’s listed 3,235 nm capability; the trustee ownership suggests the aircraft may have been finance-leased, parked, or operated under third-party agreement at various times. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with 737 Next Generation maintenance programs, with engine support oriented to the CFM56-7B22 type.
The Boeing 737-7BX sits in the 737 Next Generation family as a short- to medium-range single-aisle performer, offering a balance of fuel efficiency and payload for routes under roughly 3,235 nm. Competing models in its market niche include lower-capacity variants of the Airbus A320 family and other 737 NG derivatives; demand in secondary markets is influenced by airframe age (this unit is a 2001 build) and maintenance status. Resale and lease considerations for this serial revolve around airframe hours, cycles, and the continued aftermarket support for CFM56-7B engines; trustee ownership can complicate transactional timelines pending lien or financing resolution.
