N809NN

This airframe, registered N809NN, is a Boeing 737-823 (737-800 Next Generation) built in 2009 with manufacturer serial number 33519. Its legal owner is recorded as Wilmington Trust Co Trustee (Corporate Trust Administration) of Wilmington, DE, US, indicating the aircraft is held in a corporate trust rather than by an operating airline. The airframe has been tracked in commercial databases with a reported passenger configuration associated with American Airlines service, suggesting operational deployment with or for that carrier at times. Trust-held ownership and reported operator connections are the primary notable registry/ownership details available for this specific airframe.

The cabin for this specific 737-800 is reported to follow an American Airlines passenger layout; example tracker reports note a 16 Business / 48 Eco+ / 90 Economy split resulting in 154 seats on some records, while typical AA 737-800 installations range from 150–172 seats, indicating variable seat pitch and retrofit possibilities for this airframe. Avionics fit for the 737-800 family is standardized for airline operations, and this airframe’s operational profile is consistent with short- to medium-haul domestic and transcontinental sectors given its cruise speed and range. Maintenance considerations for a trust-owned asset often center on lease-or-leaseback scheduling, regulatory oversight, and line maintenance continuity when operated by third-party carriers.

The Boeing 737-800 Next Generation occupies a high-demand niche for single-aisle, medium-range airline operations, offering a balance of passenger capacity and per-seat economics that competes directly with Airbus A320 family types. With its CFM56-7 series engines, the type is well-supported in the aftermarket but requires life-limited component tracking and periodic heavy checks that affect resale timing. For trust-held airframes like N809NN, marketability hinges on documented maintenance status, interior configuration flexibility (150–172 seats), and the broader demand for used 737-800s among carriers and lessors in the narrowbody secondary market.
