N873NN

This airframe, registered as N873NN, is a Boeing 737-823 built in 2011 with manufacturer serial number 40766. It is owned by American Airlines, Inc., a corporation based in Fort Worth, TX, US, and has been operated by that carrier as part of its mainline short- to medium-haul fleet since delivery. The aircraft carries US registration and has the configuration, maintenance history and utilization typical of an in-service American mainline 737; notable registry actions include its assignment to the US registry under American Airlines' corporate ownership. Condition and valuation details are operator-specific and not published here; the airframe’s age and configuration place it within the expected economic and maintenance lifecycle for early-2010s Next Generation 737s.

The aircraft is a single-aisle, narrow-body layout with a typical two-class cabin accommodating approximately 162 seats, configured for mainline short- and medium-haul services. Avionics and systems conform to Boeing Commercial Airplanes’ Boeing 737 Next Generation standards; specific airline-fit avionics or retrofit packages are determined by American Airlines’ fleet standards and are not itemized here. Typical mission profiles include domestic trunk routes and transcontinental sectors within its 2,927 nm range, operating from American’s Fort Worth and other hub bases. Maintenance considerations follow the standard 737NG heavy- and line-maintenance cycles, with airframe age and cumulative cycles influencing shop visit scheduling and component overhauls.

The Boeing 737-823 is part of the 737 Next Generation family, which occupies the short- to medium-range narrow-body market niche with reliable operating economics and broad airline adoption. It competes functionally with Airbus A320-family variants for similar route profiles and seat counts; its 452 kt cruise speed and 41,000 ft ceiling are typical for this class. Buyer and charter demand for early-2010s 737NG airframes reflects considerations of remaining economic life, maintenance status, and retrofit needs; resale and lease values are influenced by operator maintenance records, seating configuration, and remaining airframe cycles.
