The Boeing 737-9 MAX represents a stretched variant in the MAX family aimed at higher-capacity short- to medium-range routes, filling a performance niche that balances seat count (here 178) with a 3,550 nm range and modern engine technology. Powered by CFM LEAP-1B engines producing 29,320 lbf each, the type competes in airline fleets against other single-aisle, high-capacity models in terms of efficiency and commonality. For operators and secondary-market buyers, considerations center on fleet commonality, engine maintenance cycles, and residual value tied to airline deployment; specific resale or market valuation for this individual airframe is not provided.
