N959AM

This airframe, registered as N959AM, is a new-build Boeing 737 MAX 9 completed in 2025 with manufacturer serial number 68131. The aircraft is recorded as held by corporate trustee UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE, located in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and is entered on the US registry. Delivery and operator details beyond trust ownership are not published; the trustee status suggests the airframe is held for a finance, lease, or collateral arrangement. No prior operators or registry actions are recorded prior to the documented trustee ownership.

The cabin of this airframe is configured C16Y165, providing a total of 181 seats with a 16-seat business-class cabin forward and 165 economy seats, consistent with single-aisle short- to medium-haul mixed-class operations. Typical mission profiles enabled by the 3,550 nm range and 453 kt cruise speed include transcontinental and transborder routes within North America and select longer thin routes where the MAX 9’s efficiency is advantageous. Avionics and interior fit details are not published; maintenance considerations on the type include established LEAP-1B engine support programs and Boeing’s global STC and parts network. The trustee ownership implies the aircraft may be prepared for lease placement, financing arrangements, or pending operator assignment.

The Boeing 737 MAX 9 sits in the single-aisle narrowbody market niche between smaller MAX variants and larger single-aisle types, offering increased seat count (here 181) and range for dense domestic or short international sectors. Competitors in this segment include the Airbus A321neo family, which offers similar capacity and range trade-offs. Buyer and lease demand for new-build 2025 MAX 9 airframes typically centers on low-cost carriers and network airlines seeking fleet commonality and fuel efficiency. Resale and maintenance considerations favor newer serials like 68131, benefiting from full manufacturer support and predictable maintenance cycles, though market values and lease rates will reflect delivery timing and operator demand.
