N918NN

This entry covers airframe N918NN, a Boeing 737-823 (737-800) built in 2013 with manufacturer serial number 33228. The airframe is owned and operated by American Airlines, a United States-based corporation, and is registered in the United States as US. The aircraft’s registry and ownership history are straightforward with no secondary owners published; its condition and valuation are typical for a 2013-series 737-800 in major airline service and maintained to line-operational standards by its operator.

The cabin configuration of this specific airframe is organized as 16 First / 24 Main Cabin Extra / 132 Main Cabin (C16Y156) for a total of 172 seats. In typical American Airlines service this 737-800 is deployed on short- to medium-haul domestic and transborder routes that match its 2,935 nm range and cruise speed of 440 kts, supporting dense frequency schedules and high-utilization rotations. Maintenance considerations follow the fleet program standards of a major carrier, including scheduled C-checks and component life limits for the CFM56-7B series engines; no unique amenities beyond the carrier’s standard 737-800 fit are published for this tail.

The Boeing 737-823 (737-800) occupies a core narrowbody medium-range market niche, offering capacity for around 172 passengers and a typical cruise and range profile that competes directly with Airbus A320-family types. Demand from major airlines and charter operators remains strong for well-maintained 737-800s due to proven operational economics and parts availability for the CFM56-7B engines. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2013-build airframe like N918NN center on remaining structural life, engine shop visit schedules, and adherence to major carrier maintenance programs that preserve residual value.
