N771CK

The airframe bearing tail number N771CK is a Boeing 777-36NER (a 777-300ER converted freighter) built in 2006 by The Boeing Company, serial number 32791. The airframe is owned by Bank of Utah Trustee, a corporate trustee based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and is registered in the US. The platform was converted to a main-deck cargo configuration and carries a reported market valuation of $40,000,000; maintenance and registry records have reflected its transition from passenger-derived service to a dedicated freighter role. Ownership under a corporate trustee structure and its U.S. registration have been notable administrative points in the aircraft’s registry history.

This airframe operates as a converted freighter with a main-deck cargo arrangement and no passenger cabin seating; payload operations and large-pallet handling have been primary mission profiles. Avionics fitment is consistent with a long-range transport-category freighter conversion, optimized for cargo flight decks and systems maintenance access rather than passenger comfort. Typical operations for this configuration emphasize intercontinental cargo routes leveraging its long-range capability and high-thrust powerplants, with operator activities generally centered around its owner’s U.S. base of record in Salt Lake City. Maintenance considerations for this individual aircraft reflect the common demands of 777-300ER conversions: heavy-structure inspections associated with main-deck cargo doors and the high-thrust GE90-115B engines’ shop visit cycles.

The Boeing 777-36NER conversion occupies a niche as a large, long-range twin-engine freighter with substantial payload and intercontinental range, competing with other large freighter conversions and factory freighter types on long-haul cargo routes. Demand among freighter operators tends to favor airframes with robust range figures and the GE90 family’s proven performance; resale and maintenance considerations hinge on remaining cycle life, conversion quality, and the high cost associated with GE90-115B shop visits. Given its valuation and U.S. registry, this specific airframe is positioned for continued use in long-haul cargo networks or asset-backed lease arrangements.
