Model & Market Context

The airframe bearing tail number N949AK is a Boeing 737-9 MAX built by Boeing in 2022 with manufacturer serial number 43356. The airframe is recorded as owned by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE (a corporation) with a registered location of Salt Lake City, UT, US and carries a US registration; registered ownership to BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE is the principal documented title history for this airframe. Operator and home base information for this specific airframe are not published in the provided data. Valuation and condition highlights list a market value of $54,000,000, with no additional condition or incident history supplied.

The cabin of this individual airframe is configured C16/Y162 (16 First/Business + 162 Economy = 178 total), indicating a two-class layout oriented toward mixed premium and high-density economy seating. Specific avionics fit and line maintenance records are not published in the supplied data; routine operations would follow Boeing and CFM International maintenance programs appropriate for the 737-9 MAX family. Typical missions for an airframe with a 3,550 nm range and cruise speed of 453 kts include short- to medium-haul trunk routes and transcontinental services within continental ranges, while deployment depends on the lessee or operator not listed here. Unique amenities or bespoke interior modifications are not detailed in the provided information.

The Boeing 737-9 MAX occupies the high-capacity single-aisle segment of the market, offering increased seat count and range relative to earlier 737 Next Generation variants; this airframe’s 178-seat two-class configuration reflects a compromise between premium cabin space and dense economy capacity. Competing aircraft in its niche include larger versions of competing single-aisle families that offer similar seat-mile economics. From a resale and maintenance perspective, buyers consider LEAP-1B engine maintenance cycles and MAX-specific structural inspections; the recorded valuation of $54,000,000 for a 2022-built frame factors in fleet demand, age, and specification for the fixed-wing multi-engine category.
