N173162023 Boeing 737 MAX 8

Overview

This airframe, registered as N17316, is a Boeing 737 MAX 8 built by The Boeing Company in 2023 with manufacturer serial number 67596. The aircraft is held by Umb Bank NA Trustee (a corporation based in Salt Lake City, UT, US) and carries a US registration; its current status reflects ownership by a financial trustee rather than a direct commercial operator. Ownership by a trustee indicates the airframe has been placed under corporate trust management, commonly associated with lease financing or asset-holding arrangements. No additional public registry actions or operator-specific endorsements are published for this serial in the supplied data.

Operations & Cabin

With a certified seating capacity of 175, this individual 737 MAX 8 airframe is consistent with single-aisle short- to medium-haul airline configurations that balance passenger capacity with fuel-efficient range. Its twin CFM International LEAP-1B28 engines, each producing 29,317 lbf, support cruise operations near 453 kts and a maximum operational ceiling of 41,000 ft, making the type suitable for transcontinental missions and higher-density regional international routes within a roughly 3,550 nm radius. As the airframe is held by a trustee entity in Salt Lake City, UT, typical mission profiles while in service under lease would include scheduled airline rotations, charter operations, or placement with operators requiring modern narrowbody capability; specific avionics fit and cabin amenities for this serial are not published.

Model & Market Context

The Boeing 737 MAX 8 occupies a core performance niche for single-aisle, medium-range operations, offering a combination of passenger capacity and fuel-efficient thrust from LEAP engines. Competing models in the same market segment include Airbus A320neo family variants; demand from airlines and lessors has focused on high-utilization short- to medium-haul deployments. For this 2023-built serial, resale and lease-market considerations hinge on lease status under Umb Bank NA Trustee, maintenance history, and remaining contractual placements rather than age-related depreciation, given its recent manufacture.
