Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N29985, is a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner completed in 2021 with manufacturer serial number 66144. The aircraft is recorded as owned by Wilmington Trust Company, a corporation trustee located in Wilmington, DE, US, and is registered in the US. The airframe’s documentation indicates it is held in trust by Wilmington Trust Company, reflecting a common ownership structure for commercial widebody assets. As a relatively new build with a 2021 delivery year, its book valuation is listed at $292,500,000, consistent with late-model long-range twin-aisle examples.

The configured cabin is a three-class layout totaling 257 seats: C48 / W21 / Y188 (48 Business, 21 Premium Economy, 188 Economy). With a listed long-range capability of 8,500 nm and cruise speed of 514 kts, the airframe is equipped for extended overwater and transcontinental missions typical of widebody passenger service. The powerplant fit of twin GEnx-1B74/75 engines, each rated at 74,100 lbf, informs maintenance planning and support logistics specific to this 787-9 variant. Registered in the US and owned by a Wilmington, DE trustee entity, the aircraft’s operational dispatch and commercial use are subject to standard regulatory oversight and trust-owned asset management practices.

As a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, this airframe sits in the long-range twin-aisle performance niche characterized by high fuel efficiency and extended-range capability, reflected in its 8,500 nm range and 257-seat layout. The specific engine selection (GEnx-1B74/75) and recent build year (2021) factor into contemporary maintenance cycles, overhaul timing, and spares provisioning. The recorded valuation of $292,500,000 positions this airframe within late-production market benchmarks for large, long-range widebodies and influences lease, finance, and resale considerations for trustees and operators.
