Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N438AM, is a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner built in 2017 with manufacturer serial number 43862. The airframe is owned by BC2 43862 LLC, a corporate owner based in Camden, DE, US, and carries a United States registration. The cabin is fitted in an Aeroméxico three-class layout, indicating operation or lease placement with that carrier; registry records reflect the US registration and corporate ownership rather than direct airline registry. Condition and valuation highlights are typical for a mid-life 2017 widebody of this type, with value and specific condition reports not published in the supplied data.
The aircraft is configured in an Aeroméxico three-class cabin with 36 Business, 27 Economy Comfort, and 211 Economy seats for a total of 274 passenger seats, reflecting a medium-density long-haul configuration. With two GEnx-1B74/75 engines, each rated at 74,500 lbf, the airframe is intended for intercontinental routings that exploit the type’s long-range capability out to 7,565 nm. Typical mission profiles for this specific build year and cabin fit include transcontinental and transoceanic scheduled passenger services operated from Aeroméxico’s hubs, with maintenance and operational planning driven by the GEnx engine support structure and Boeing 787 airframe maintenance intervals. The US corporate registration and ownership structure imply oversight and records maintained under US registry practices.
The Boeing 787-9 family sits in the midsize long-range twinjet niche, offering a balance of passenger capacity (here 274 seats) and extended range (7,565 nm) that positions it against alternatives such as the Airbus A330neo and A350 variants for many operators. For purchasers, lessors, and operators, considerations include mid-life maintenance of composite airframes, GEnx engine support costs and spares logistics, and residual value influenced by age (built 2017) and current market demand for long-haul widebodies. The corporate ownership and airline cabin fit reflect common leasing and operating practices in the international passenger market.
