N936AK

This airframe, registered as N936AK, is a Boeing-built narrowbody delivered in 2022 with manufacturer serial number 43379. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is held by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee located in Salt Lake City, Utah; this ownership position suggests financial or leasing arrangements common for airliners. The airframe is a Boeing 737-9 MAX and carries a two-class cabin fitted to an Alaska Airlines specification, indicating a commercial passenger role. No public record of operator transfer or notable incident history is provided in the supplied data.

The subject aircraft is configured in a two-class 178-seat layout per Alaska Airlines specification, comprising 16 First, 24 Premium, and 138 Main seats, indicating a short- to medium-haul passenger mission profile with a focus on high-density main cabin capacity and premium seating options. The flightdeck is equipped with the Boeing 737 MAX integrated avionics suite featuring a glass cockpit with large LCD displays, supporting modern navigation, flight-management and safety systems standardized across the MAX series. With a range of 3,550 nm and cruise speed around 453 kts, the aircraft is suited to domestic U.S. transcontinental sectors and dense short-haul rotations typical of major flag and low-cost carriers. The trustee ownership implies routine lessor-driven maintenance oversight and financial servicing arrangements rather than operator-specific customizations beyond the documented cabin fit.

The Boeing 737-9 MAX occupies the high-capacity end of the single-aisle MAX family, offering extended range and passenger capacity relative to earlier 737NG types. Its mission niche covers high-density short- and medium-range routes where airlines seek lower fuel burn and modern avionics; competing models include stretched variants of the Airbus A320neo family. Demand from airlines and lessors remains strong for late-production MAX variants for fleet renewal and network densification. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on regulatory-compliant continued maintenance tracking, engine LEAP-1B support, and the market value implications of trustee ownership and operator-driven cabin configuration.
