N778MA

The airframe bearing tail number N778MA is a Boeing Commercial Airplanes-built airliner from the 2006 production year, serial number 34704. This specific Boeing 737-808 (737-800 family) example is registered in the US and is owned by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a corporation based in Salt Lake City, UT, US. The type is recorded as a fixed-wing multi-engine transport configured for passenger carriage; the cabin for this airframe is listed as a 149 passenger configuration as set by the operator. Registry and ownership records identify the trustee entity in Salt Lake City as the recorded owner of this airframe.

The cabin of N778MA is presented in a 149 passenger operator-configured layout, indicating a single-aisle, high-density seating arrangement typical for the 737-800 family. The aircraft’s mission profile, supported by a 3,115 nm range and a 444 kt cruise speed, suits short- to medium-haul scheduled or charter operations with relatively high seating capacity. As a corporate-trust-owned asset, the airframe may be subject to third-party lease or operator arrangements under the owner's trustee oversight rather than direct airline operation. Maintenance and operational planning would follow standard 737NG practices given the powerplants are CFM56-7B26 engines producing 20,000 lbf each, with continued attention to cyclic life management for high-utilization, high-seat configurations.

The Boeing 737-808 (part of the 737-800 family) occupies the narrow-body single-aisle performance niche emphasizing fuel-efficient short- and medium-range service with up to high single-aisle seating densities; N778MA reflects that role with 149 seats and a 3,115 nm ferry range. Competing models in similar missions have included later-generation narrow-bodies and used-market alternatives from rival OEMs; demand for 737-800s remains driven by replacement needs and cost-sensitive charter and regional operators. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2006-built airframe (serial 34704) will hinge on cycle history and engine life, with the CFM56-7B26 fleet-wide support network informing long-term asset economics.
