N8568Z

The airframe bearing tail number N8568Z is a Boeing-built 737-8H4 (marketed as the 737-800) completed in 2018 with manufacturer's serial number 64248. The certificate of title lists the owner as the corporate trustee UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE, based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and the aircraft carries a US registration. The airframe's corporate ownership and trustee status suggest usage in leased or collateralized service rather than direct operator ownership; registration and trustee listings indicate financial or trust-based title holding rather than an operating airline. No public operator name or further registry actions are provided for this specific airframe.

N8568Z is configured in a single-class cabin layout, listed as Y175, seating 175 passengers in a standard single-class arrangement suitable for short- to medium-haul trunk routes. With a cruise speed of 430 kts and a maximum range of 3,115 nm, its mission profile aligns with higher-density domestic and regional transcontinental flights where a 737-800 is typically deployed. As a trustee-held airframe, routine maintenance and return conditions are commonly managed to lessor standards, and the lack of an identified operator implies the aircraft may be in lease transition, parked, or operated by a third party under the trustee’s ownership. Specific avionics fit and cabin amenities are not published for this serial.

The Boeing 737-8H4 (737-800) occupies a core position in single-aisle medium-haul markets, offering a balance of seating capacity (here 175 seats) and range suited to dense short- to medium-range routes. It competes against later-generation narrowbodies for efficiency and against Airbus A320-family types for market share. Engines of the CFM56-7B series are well-supported globally, which favors maintenance continuity and resale liquidity; however, trustee-owned status can affect market transactions, with title encumbrances and lease returns often complicating immediate sale or operator transfer despite the airframe’s contemporary 2018 manufacture date.
