N7204U

The airframe with tail number N7204U is a Boeing 737-7 MAX built in 2020 with manufacturer serial number 42587. It is owned by Southwest Airlines Co. (a corporation based in Dallas, TX, US) and is registered in the US; the acquisition and ongoing operation by Southwest are part of the aircraft’s recorded ownership history. As a relatively recent production example of the type, the airframe carries an estimated market valuation of $99,700,000 and entered service configured for airline operations under a single-class dense cabin layout. No additional registry actions or prior ownership transfers are published beyond the current corporate ownership and registration.

The aircraft is outfitted in an airline single-class dense layout (operator-specific), reflecting Southwest Airlines’ typical high-density seating approach for short- to medium-haul network service. With its two CFM International LEAP-1B engines producing 28,000 lbf of thrust each and a manufacturer-stated range of 3,800 nm, this airframe is positioned for point-to-point and regional mainline missions within the operator’s route structure based from Dallas, TX. Cabin fit and amenities are operator-determined; maintenance and operational oversight are conducted under the owning corporation’s established programs. Specific avionics fit, seat count, cruise speed and service ceiling for this individual serial are not published in the supplied data.

As a member of the Boeing 737 MAX family, the Boeing 737-7 MAX platform occupies a short- to medium-range single-aisle performance niche, offering modern engines and extended range capabilities relative to prior generation 737s. The presence of CFM International LEAP-1B propulsion and a 2020 build year align this airframe with fleet renewal and expansion trends among large low-cost carriers. Market interest and resale considerations for aircraft like N7204U typically reflect engine condition, configuration (here a dense airline layout), and corporate ownership status; the supplied valuation of $99,700,000 provides a benchmark for secondary-market comparisons.
