N776DE

The airframe bearing tail number N776DE is a Boeing-built Next Generation 737 completed in 2013 with manufacturer serial number 39624. The airframe is recorded as owned by Wilmington Trust Co Trustee (a corporate trustee based in Wilmington, Delaware, US) and carries a United States registration. The airframe’s line number and serial place it within the mid-production run of the 737-800NG family, and its documented ownership by a corporate trustee indicates use under leasing or trust arrangements rather than direct airline title. Valuation and specific recent condition reports are not published for this individual airframe in the supplied data.

This airframe is configured in a Delta Air Lines two-class typical layout with a total of 160 seats arranged as 16 Business / 36 Economy Comfort / 108 Economy, reflecting a short- to medium-haul passenger mission profile. Typical operations for this configuration include domestic trunk and transcontinental routes within the United States and near-international sectors compatible with the aircraft’s 3,115 nm range and 444 kts cruise speed. Avionics and maintenance specifics are those standard to the Boeing 737-800 Next Generation baseline unless otherwise modified by an operator; the trustee ownership suggests the airframe may be operated by a third-party airline under lease with routine line and heavy maintenance programs aligned to CFM56-7B engine schedules. Cabin amenities and service levels would follow the operator’s standard two-class service offering for this model.

The Boeing 737-8EH (737-800, Next Generation) occupies the high-capacity single-aisle sector, offering a balance of range, seat count, and operating economics for short- and medium-haul fleets. It competes with earlier Airbus A320-family variants and is commonly sought after by carriers and lessors for stable demand in replacement and fleet-growth scenarios. Market considerations for this serial include remaining airframe life, CFM56-7B shop visit cycles, and a resale or lease market influenced by the aircraft’s 2013 build year and global demand for mature 737NG examples. Maintenance and resale value are typically assessed against fleet utilization, configuration (here a 160-seat two-class fit), and the remaining time-on-wing for the CFM56-7B27E engines.
