N8741L

The airframe bearing registration N8741L is a Boeing-built single-aisle jet of the Boeing 737-8 MAX family, delivered in 2021 with manufacturer serial number 61869. It is recorded as owned by UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and is registered in the United States. The aircraft carries a Southw est-style single-class cabin of 175 seats and is configured in the operator-aligned layout specified for that seating capacity. No public valuation or detailed condition reports have been published for this specific airframe; its trustee ownership indicates it is held under a financial or leasing structure rather than direct individual ownership.

The aircraft is outfitted in a single-class (Y175) configuration consistent with the 175-seat Southwest Airlines-style layout, emphasizing high-density short- to medium-haul operations. Typical mission profiles for this configuration emphasize frequent turnarounds on domestic transcontinental and high-frequency trunk routes within the aircraft’s 3,550 nm range and cruise speed around 453 kts. Avionics and auxiliary equipment align with the 737-8 MAX standard fit for commercial operators, and maintenance considerations commonly reflect the LEAP-1B engine fleet-support requirements and MAX-series airframe inspections. As a trustee-held asset, the airframe’s operational deployment is likely managed through leasing or an operator agreement rather than direct corporate flight operations.

The Boeing 737-8 MAX occupies the narrowbody single-aisle market niche for medium-range, high-frequency passenger services, directly competing with Airbus A320neo-family variants. With its LEAP-1B engines producing 26,786 lbf each and a typical 175-seat high-density layout, demand centers on airlines seeking fuel-efficient replacements for older 737 Classic and Next Generation types. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect the broader MAX-series scrutiny and parts/engine support dynamics, alongside leasing market conditions influenced by trustee-held ownership models.
