- SEC EDGAR — American Airlines Group Inc. FY2025 Form 10-KPRIMARY SOURCERetrieved Jul 14, 2026
Mainline fleet table: Boeing 737-8 MAX — 172 average seats, 3.7 years average age, 56 owned / 33 leased / 89 total, as of 2025-12-31.
Gives total/average seats and fleet count only; no per-cabin split or row positions.

American 737 MAX 8 fleet: 103 in service; passenger configuration (config row shared with the 737-800) 16 First / 24 Main Cabin Extra / 132 Main Cabin = 172.
Community-maintained; used for the per-cabin split, which reconciles with the SEC 172 total. The 103 in-service figure is more current than the 10-K's 89 (as of 2025-12-31).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Airlines_fleet ↗
American's standard 737 MAX 8 domestic three-cabin layout (Boeing Sky Interior / 'Oasis'-era narrowbody interior). TOTAL 172 seats and the 89-aircraft fleet count are published in American Airlines Group's FY2025 SEC Form 10-K mainline fleet table (Boeing 737-8 MAX: 172 average seats, 3.7 years average age, 56 owned / 33 leased / 89 total, as of 2025-12-31). The per-cabin split 16 First / 24 Main Cabin Extra / 132 Main Cabin = 172 is from Wikipedia's American Airlines fleet table (neutral), whose config row is shared (rowspan=2) between the 737-800 and the 737 MAX 8: 16 First / 24 Main Cabin Extra / 132 Main Cabin / 172 total. NOTE ON THE ASSIGNMENT HINT: the dispatch hint guessed 16F/30 Main-Cabin-Extra/126 Main Cabin; independent verification against Wikipedia (neutral) and consistent travel-press summaries instead gives 24 Main Cabin Extra / 132 Main Cabin (same 16 First and same 172 total). The 30/126 figure is not supported by any citable source found; 24/132 is used. Wikipedia lists 103 MAX 8 in service as of mid-2026 (continued deliveries since the 10-K snapshot); the 89 fleetCount reflects the 2025-12-31 10-K as-of date. Main Cabin Extra is American's branded extra-legroom economy product (canonicalTier extra_legroom_economy), marketed as 3-6 inches more legroom than Main Cabin; American sells the overwing exit rows as Main Cabin Extra. THE ROW GRID IS DERIVED, not a placard scan: aa.com is bot-blocked (hard 403), news.aa.com fact sheets are JS-rendered and unfetchable, and competitor seat-map sites are prohibited sources. Derivation: First 2-2 (columns A/C/D/F) rows 1-4 = 16; forward galley/class divider occupies unnumbered rows 5-6; Main Cabin 3-3 begins at bulkhead row 7; Main Cabin Extra 3-3 forward block rows 8-9 = 12 plus the two overwing exit rows 16-17 = 12 (sold as Main Cabin Extra) = 24; standard Main Cabin 3-3 fills rows 7, 10-15 and 18-32 = 132. Overwing exits placed at rows 16-17 and the wing spanned rows 13-20 per typical 737 MAX 8 geometry (door/exit stations in data/window-grids/737-max8.json come from the Boeing 737 MAX ACAP table); the forward exit row (16) is modeled as non-reclining and the aft exit row (17) with full recline, with row 15 (directly ahead of the forward exit) at limited recline. Actual row numbers, exit-row placement, over-wing range and rear-monument positions may differ from the physical aircraft. All pitch/width/recline values are unpublished by American for this type in a fetchable primary source and are flagged unsourced.
What changed
- Jul 14, 2026Initial American 737 MAX 8 config (172 seats: 16F First / 24N Main Cabin Extra / 132Y Main Cabin). Layout derived from SEC FY2025 10-K total (172 seats, 89 aircraft) + Wikipedia cabin split (16/24/132); aa.com bot-blocked, news.aa.com fact sheets unfetchable. Corrected the assignment hint's 30/126 Main Cabin Extra/Main Cabin guess to the cited 24/132. Sources archived under data/sources/objects/.
