N8603F

This airframe, registered N8603F, is a Boeing-built narrow-body completed in 2012 with manufacturer serial number 38875. It is a member of the Boeing 737 Next Generation family, specifically a Boeing 737-8H4 (737-800 Next Generation) model manufactured by Boeing. Ownership is held by Wilmington Trust Company, Trustee (a corporate owner based in Wilmington, DE, US), indicating the airframe is subject to trust-based asset management rather than direct airline ownership. The aircraft is registered in the US and configured in a single-class, all-economy layout typical of high-density operators; no additional notable registry actions or valuation disclosures have been published for this specific serial.

The cabin of this specific airframe is outfitted in a single-class all-economy configuration with 143 seats, described as a Southwest-style high-density layout that prioritizes capacity over premium amenities. Typical mission profiles for this 737-800 include short- to medium-haul scheduled services across domestic and near-international sectors consistent with its 3,115 nm range and cruise speed of 444 kts. The twin CFM56-7B26E engines support common-stage maintenance practices across the 737NG fleet, and corporate trust ownership suggests the aircraft may be placed with commercial operators under lease arrangements rather than operated directly by the trustee. Standard maintenance and inspection cycles for a 2012-built 737-800 apply, with particular attention to airframe fatigue life and engine shop visit scheduling.

The Boeing 737-8H4 (737-800 Next Generation) occupies the mid-capacity single-aisle niche, offering a balance of range and seat capacity suitable for dense short- to medium-haul routes. It competes primarily with Airbus A320-family variants for airline operators seeking 140–180 seat configurations. Market demand remains driven by carriers valuing fleet commonality and high-density layouts; resale and leasing considerations for a 2012 737-800 include engine life, remaining structural checks, and interior condition given its all-economy 143-seat fit. Maintenance records and ownership via Wilmington Trust Company, Trustee will factor into lease rates and remarketing prospects.
