N8611F

This airframe, registered as N8611F, is a Boeing 737-8H4 (737-800) built in 2013 with manufacturer serial number 36892. It is owned by Southwest Airlines Co. (a corporation headquartered in Dallas, TX, US) and operates in the carrier’s US domestic network under a US registry. The airframe has a typical in-service history consistent with a mainline low-cost operator; specific notable registry actions or transfers are not published. Valuation and detailed condition reports for this individual airframe are not published, though continued operation by the owner implies standard commercial maintenance and utilization common to the type.

The aircraft is configured in a single-class all-economy layout branded as the Southwest Heart interior, accommodating 175 passengers and optimized for high-density short- to medium-haul flights. Operated by Southwest Airlines Co. from its Dallas, Texas base, the airframe typically performs frequent point-to-point domestic sectors where quick turnarounds and high utilization are prioritized. Routine mission profiles emphasize short to transcontinental legs within the 3,115 nm range and cruise operations near 440 kts, while maintenance considerations follow heavy-usage schedules typical of low-cost carrier fleets, including airframe checks and CFM56-7B engine shop visits on planned intervals.

The Boeing 737-800 airframe represented by this serial is part of the Next Generation 737 family, a widely used narrow-body platform offering a balance of range, capacity and operating cost for short- to medium-range routes. With a service ceiling of 41,000 ft and seating for 175, it competes against similar 150–190 seat single-aisle types in airline fleets, where buyer and charter demand remains strong for proven, well-supported models. Maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe reflect its role in a high-utilization carrier fleet: robust aftermarket support for the CFM56-7B engines and established parts supply tend to favor steady residual value for properly maintained examples.
