N172962023 Boeing 737-8 MAX

Overview

This airframe, registered as N17296, is a Boeing 737-8 MAX built in 2023 with manufacturer serial 67556 / 8527. The aircraft is owned by United Airlines, Inc., a corporation based in Chicago, IL, USA, and operates in United’s mainline fleet under a United States registration. There are no alternative owners listed in the provided data, and the airframe’s recent build year places it among the newer production tranche of 737-8 MAX deliveries. Registry entries and notable maintenance history are not published in the supplied data; condition is inferred as mainline-service standard for a 2023 delivery.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin on this specific airframe is configured in United mainline seating as C16Y150, providing approximately 16 business-class and 150 economy-class seats. Typical mission profiles for this configuration include short- to medium-haul domestic and transborder routes up to the listed range, consistent with United’s network needs. Avionics and specific onboard systems are not detailed in the supplied data, though as a 2023 Boeing 737-8 MAX it would carry the manufacturer's contemporary flight deck and systems baseline for the MAX family. Maintenance considerations follow typical 737-8 MAX program protocols; this airframe’s recent manufacture date suggests it remains under current manufacturer and operator maintenance programs and warranties customary for new deliveries.

Model & Market Context

The Boeing 737-8 MAX occupies a narrow-body, single-aisle performance niche offering increased efficiency and range compared with earlier 737 Next Generation types, here reflected in a 3,500 nm range and modern LEAP-1B propulsion. Primary competition in its market segment includes other high-efficiency single-aisle types aimed at medium-haul operations. Buyer demand for late-production MAX variants is driven by mainline carriers seeking fleet commonality and fuel efficiency; resale and maintenance considerations for this 2023 airframe benefit from recent production status and established support for the LEAP-1B engine and Boeing’s aftermarket structure.
