Unveiling the Beast: Seattle Kraken Branded 737-9 Max by Alaska Airlines! (N915AK)

Welcome to the Nova Airmada channel hello to my future subscribers and my loyal subscribers. Today’s aircraft is the Alaska Airlines Boeing 737-9 Max, painted in a special one off livery celebrating the National Hockey League’s most recent Expansion team The Seattle Kraken. Please watch to the end to see this aircraft’s full history.
Built by the Boeing Company in the late 2010’s from the Boeing Aircraft factory in Renton Washington. This Boeing 737-9 Max was initially built and flown in 2019 for full certification. However due to the world wide groundings of 737 Max aircraft, this aircraft, although fully painted out in the modern standard Alaska Airlines livery was not delivered to the airline until March 22, 2021. At this time, the aircraft was and is still registered to this day in the middle of 2023 as N915AK. Initially equipped with CFM International LEAP series High Bypass turbofans, that produce up to 29,317 lbf or 130 kN each. These engines can provide enough power to fly at normal cruise speeds of 453 kn, or 839 km/h.
In October of 2021, the aircraft would get repainted in a special one off livery, celebrating the National Hockey League’s most recent expansion team, the Seattle Kraken, located in Alaska Airline’s headquarters city of Seattle Washington. While able to carry up to 220 passengers, this aircraft is currently laid out to carry 178 passengers, spread between First Class, Premium Class and Coach. In this configuration the aircraft is able to carry all it’s passengers around 3,300 nmi, or 6,200 km. While this range can allow for international flights outside of North America, this aircraft spends most of it’s time along the North American West Coast, from as far north as Anchorage Alaska, to as far south as San Diego California, with occasional trips to the US East coast to cities like Newark New Jersey and Washington DC.
