As a member of the Boeing 737 MAX family, the Boeing 737 MAX 8 represented by N8748Q occupies a medium-range, single-aisle market niche offering a combination of seating for 175 passengers, a cruise speed of 453 kts, and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft. Powered by two high-bypass CFM International LEAP-1B engines, the platform is suited to high-frequency point-to-point airline operations within a roughly 3,500 nm mission profile. Fleet commonality factors such as the Collins flight deck and single-class cabin configuration typically influence operator demand, maintenance planning, and resale considerations for airframes configured in this manner.
