N957NN

This airframe, registered N957NN, is a Boeing 737-823 (737-800, Next Generation) built in 2014 with manufacturer serial number 31202 / Line 5071. The airframe is owned and operated by American Airlines of the United States, representing a single-corporation ownership profile and commercial mainline service use. The registration is listed as US, and the type certificate and configuration reflect a standard Next Generation narrowbody delivered in the mid-2010s. Owned by American Airlines since delivery, the aircraft fits the carrier’s fleet replacement and capacity objectives and would be maintained to mainline heavy maintenance schedules typical for its type and operator.

The airframe is reported with a two-class cabin layout, coded C16Y156, approximating 172 seats arranged as First and Main cabin sections suitable for short- to medium-haul domestic and near-international missions. Avionics and systems correspond to the Boeing 737 Next Generation standard fit for a 2014 line number, and the twin CFM International CFM56-7B turbofan installation supports routine airline utilization profiles. Typical operations for this aircraft under American Airlines involve high-frequency mainline routes where rapid turnarounds and commonality with other 737-800s in the fleet reduce operational complexity. Maintenance considerations align with the NG fleet common practices, including cyclical structural and engine shop visits under the carrier’s approved maintenance program.

The Boeing 737-800 (NG) family occupies the single-aisle medium-range segment, offering an operational range of about 3,115 nm, cruise speeds near 440 kts, and seating densities commonly between 150–186 depending on configuration; this airframe’s 172-seat two-class layout is a typical compromise between capacity and passenger comfort. Competing models in the same niche include the Airbus A320ceo family and later A320neo variants for operators prioritizing fuel efficiency. For buyers and lessors, 2014-build 737-800s present solid fleet commonality and predictable maintenance cycles, though residual value and demand are influenced by newer, more fuel-efficient alternatives in the narrowbody market.
