N8565Z

This airframe, registered as N8565Z, is a Boeing 737-8H4 (737-800) completed in 2018 with manufacturer's serial number 42533 / 6817. The aircraft is owned by SOUTHWEST AIRLINES CO, a corporate operator based in Dallas, TX, US, and is listed on the U.S. registry (US). No public record of multiple ownership changes is provided; the airframe is associated with its current corporate owner and mainline operator. The type and age place the airframe in a relatively modern residual value bracket, with an estimated market value of $25,000,000 reflecting its configuration and airframe condition for mainline service.

The aircraft operates in a single-class, mainline configuration with a 175-seat cabin tailored to carrier policies for dense domestic and short‑to‑medium international routes. Typical mission profiles utilize the airframe’s 3,060 nm range and cruise performance near 450 kts for high-frequency trunk and point‑to‑point services from the operator’s Dallas base. Avionics fit is consistent with the Boeing 737-800 baseline for commercial operators; specific STC or retrofit details are not published. Maintenance is performed to mainline airline standards under the operator’s established heavy-check schedule, with the twin CFM56-7B27 engines providing well-understood overhaul and shop-visit cycles for fleet commonality.

The Boeing 737-800 family member represented by N8565Z occupies a high-utilization short- to medium-haul niche with strong fleet commonality advantages for large low-cost carriers. Competing models in its market segment include variants of the Airbus A320 family and newer 737 MAX derivatives; resale and demand for late-model 737-800s hinge on remaining economic life, engine cycles, and cabin configuration. For buyers or lessors, notable considerations include the aircraft’s age since 2018, the established support network for the CFM56-7B27 engines, and the current estimated value of $25,000,000 which reflects mainstream demand for well-maintained single-class mainline units.
