American Airlines has added a new Boeing 737 MAX 8 to its fleet, registered as N315UA. This tail number was previously used by United Airlines. The aircraft joined American's fleet on December 24, 2024, as part of the airline's ongoing expansion efforts.
The aircraft was ferried from Boeing Field in Seattle to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport on December 24. Flight AA9825 departed at 12:35 local time and arrived in Dallas at 18:05 local time.
The registration number N315UA was once associated with a United Airlines Boeing 737-300, which flew for the airline from December 1987 until it was retired and scrapped in late 2009. Aviation enthusiasts have noted this reuse of a tail number with interest.
