N961NN

This airframe, registered as N961NN, is a Boeing 737-823 (a variant of the Boeing 737-800) with manufacturer serial number 31205 and build year 2014. The aircraft is owned by AMERICAN AIRLINES INC, a corporation based in Fort Worth, TX, and carries a United States registration. As a fixed-wing multi-engine commercial narrowbody, the airframe reflects a mid-2010s production standard for the 737-800 family and is maintained and operated within the American Airlines fleet infrastructure. Ownership and registry remain under American Airlines’ corporate registration in the U.S., indicating continued operator stewardship rather than third-party leasing.

The aircraft’s cabin is configured in an American Airlines typical 737-800 layout with approximately 162 seats, supporting single-aisle short- to medium-haul operations. On routes this airframe typically serves, mission profiles emphasize high-frequency domestic and near-international sectors compatible with a 3,060 nm range and a cruise speed near 515 kts, operating from American’s Fort Worth-linked corporate base and hub network. Avionics and systems fit follow Boeing Commercial Airplanes’ standard line-fit for 2014 737-800s, and maintenance cycles align with the operator’s heavy- and line-maintenance programs for CFM56-powered fleets. Given the twin CFM56-7B24 engines and a certified ceiling of 41,000 ft, the aircraft is well suited to optimize slot-driven schedules and dense short-haul rotations with predictable dispatch reliability.

The Boeing 737-823 (737-800) sits in the mature narrowbody segment, providing a balance of capacity, range, and operating economics for carriers like American Airlines. It competes with contemporary variants of the Airbus A320 family on similar short- to medium-haul missions and remains attractive in markets requiring 150–180 seat capacity. Maintenance and resale considerations for a 2014 737-800 include established aftermarket support for CFM56 engines, a broad parts pool, and steady demand from operators prioritizing commonality within 737 fleets.
