N8307K

The airframe bearing registration N8307K is a Boeing-built single-aisle transport delivered in 2012 by Boeing Commercial Airplanes as a Boeing 737-8H4, manufacturer serial number 36987. The airframe is recorded as owned by UMB BANK N A TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee located in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and is registered in the US. Held in trust under corporate ownership, the aircraft’s trustee-based ownership structure is notable for lease and financing arrangements common to large commercial narrowbodies. Valuation and detailed condition reports are not published; registry entries and trustee status are the primary public ownership indicators for this tail.

This specific 737-8H4 is configured in a single-class high-density layout, described as Y175 economy typical for the operator profile, emphasizing maximum passenger capacity over premium seating options. In operational profile it suits short- to medium-haul revenue flights within the roughly 3,115 nm range and cruises at about 444 kts, making it practical for dense domestic networks or high-frequency regional trunk routes. Avionics and maintenance fit are consistent with the 737-800 family baseline and common operator retrofit practices; as a trustee-owned aircraft, scheduling of heavy maintenance and return conditions are typically governed by lease or trust covenants rather than direct operator ownership. No unique cabin amenities or special modifications are publicly documented for this airframe.

The Boeing 737-8H4 sits in the Boeing 737 Next Generation family niche, offering high-density seating and efficient single-aisle operations for airlines seeking lower per-seat costs. Competitors in the same mission profile include higher-density variants of the Airbus A320 family and older 737 Classics; market demand is driven by replacement cycles, leasing arrangements, and route density. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial include common CFM56-7B engine supportability and widely available airframe spares, while trustee ownership can influence remarketing timelines and return-condition negotiations.
