N937NN

This airframe, registered N937NN, is a Boeing 737-823 (737-800 Next Generation) built in 2013 with manufacturer's serial number 31178. The aircraft is recorded as owned by WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE (a corporation based in Wilmington, DE, US) and is registered in the US; this trustee ownership is notable as a corporate financial holding rather than an operator. The airframe carries an operator-configured cabin in an approximate 162-seat, two-class layout typical of American Airlines fleet standards. Valuation records list the airframe at $17,550,000, reflecting a market estimate for a mid‑2010s Next Generation 737 in operational condition.

The cabin is fitted in an operator configuration, approximately 162 seats in a two-class layout consistent with typical American Airlines arrangements, indicating a dense short- to medium-haul passenger role. With a service ceiling of 41,000 ft and a cruise speed of 444 kts, the airframe is optimized for domestic and transcontinental missions within its 3,115 nm range. The aircraft’s twin CFM56-7B24E engines are common on 737-800s, supporting widespread MRO support networks but also entailing lifecycle maintenance common to the model series. As a trustee-owned asset, dispatch and operational control are typically managed by a commercial operator under lease or ACMI arrangements rather than direct ownership by an airline.

The Boeing 737-823 (737-800 Next Generation) occupies a core short- to medium-range single-aisle market niche, competing with similar-generation Airbus A320ceo family types for mainline and low-cost carrier missions. Its performance—cruise speed near 444 kts, range about 3,115 nm, and a 162-seat two-class fit—matches typical high-density domestic schedules. Market demand remains solid for 737-800s as replacement volume for older classics, though resale and maintenance considerations hinge on cycle counts, engine shop visits, and cabin refurbishment needs; the recorded valuation of $17,550,000 positions this airframe within expected mid-life pricing for a 2013 NG-series 737.
