N926AK

This airframe, registered as N926AK, is a Boeing 737-9 MAX built by The Boeing Company in 2021 with manufacturer serial number 43314. The aircraft is owned by Alaska Airlines, Inc., a corporate operator based in Seattle, WA, US, and is registered in the US. Entered service in 2021 and has remained under corporate ownership with no public record of secondary ownership; valuation and condition highlights: Not published.

The airframe carries a two-class Alaska Airlines layout with approximately 16 premium/business + 162 economy (178 total) seats, configured for short- to medium-haul trunk and network flying consistent with the carrier’s route structure. With a maximum cruise of 453 kts and a design ceiling of 41,000 ft, the aircraft is suited to transcontinental and higher-density domestic sectors within its 3,550 nm range capability. Powered by a pair of CFM International LEAP-1B turbofans rated at 28,000 lbf each, the type shares the operator’s maintenance and operational commonality across the fleet; routine maintenance considerations align with twin-engine, fixed-wing multi-engine scheduled checks for this generation. The operator’s Seattle base supports line and heavy maintenance infrastructure appropriate for the model.

As a member of the MAX series, the Boeing 737-9 MAX airframe represented by N926AK occupies a performance niche balancing higher capacity and extended range for single-aisle operations, delivering 178 seats and a 3,550 nm mission radius from a 2021 production frame. Its twin LEAP-1B engines and 41,000 ft service ceiling underpin operational flexibility for mixed short- and medium-haul deployments. For fleet planners and asset managers, considerations for this airframe include typical lifecycle maintenance of recent-production narrowbodies and fleet commonality advantages due to single-operator ownership by Alaska Airlines, Inc.
