N8322X

This airframe, registered as N8322X, is a Boeing 737-800 built in 2012 with manufacturer serial number 36997. It is owned by Southwest Airlines Co, a corporation based in Dallas, TX, US, and carries a United States registration (US). The aircraft is a single-aisle, high-density mainline example configured for approximately 175 seats and is maintained to the standards of its corporate operator. Registered in the United States and retained in a single corporate fleet throughout its documented life, the airframe’s condition is managed under the operator’s heavy maintenance and overhaul programs consistent with 737NG series practice.

This specific Boeing 737-800 is operated in a single-class high-density configuration (approximately 175 seats) suited to short- to medium-haul point-to-point airline operations typical of its owner. The cabin is arranged as a single-aisle layout optimized for high passenger throughput rather than premium seating; galley and overhead storage layouts conform to the operator’s mainline service standards. Avionics and systems fit are consistent with the 737-800 production standard and the CFM56-7B27E engine type, supporting typical cruise performance of 444 kts and fleet-wide maintenance practices. Mission profiles for this airframe emphasize domestic and near-international routes within the aircraft’s 3,115 nm operational range, operating from the owner’s Dallas-area base under standard commercial scheduling and maintenance cycles.

The Boeing 737-800 belongs to the 737 Next Generation family, occupying a performance niche as a reliable, single-aisle medium-range workhorse with a service ceiling of 41,000 ft. It competes against similar narrowbodies in carrier fleets seeking high-capacity, cost-efficient operations and is commonly evaluated against later-generation re-engined types for long-term fleet planning. Buyer and secondary-market interest typically reflects airframe cycles, engine life, and fleet commonality; maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe are influenced by its CFM56-7B27E engines, seats configuration, and continuous operation within a major corporate operator.
