N781AV

This airframe, registered N781AV, is a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner built in 2014 with manufacturer serial number 37503. The aircraft is owned by Avianca (Aerovías Nacionales de Colombia S.A.), a corporation based in Bogotá, Colombia, and carries a US registration. The frame is configured for two-class passenger service and reflects typical late-production 787-8 configuration and utilization patterns under a major Latin American flag carrier. Ownership has remained with Avianca as the listed operator and corporate owner, and the type’s residual valuation and in-service condition align with regional long-haul fleet deployment norms for 2014-built Dreamliners.

The cabin on this specific airframe is fitted in a two-class layout with 28 Business / 222 Economy (two-class, 250 total) seats, supporting medium- to long-haul international operations consistent with Avianca’s network. Avionics and aircraft systems follow the standard Boeing 787-8 fit for airline operators, optimized for fuel efficiency and extended-range cruise; the twin Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines provide the thrust profile used in long overwater sectors. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include transcontinental and transregional routes where the 8,200 nm range and 490-knot cruise enable nonstop scheduling. Maintenance considerations for this particular aircraft reflect the manufacturer and engine type commonality within operator fleets, with routine heavy checks and Trent-specific support programs standard for 2014-series 787-8s.

The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner occupies a performance niche focused on long-range, fuel-efficient operations for medium-capacity routes, competing with variants of the Airbus A330neo and A350 families for similar missions. Demand among airlines and charter operators for 787-8s centers on their range and economics; resale and maintenance considerations for a 2014-built frame include lifecycle engine support and airframe fatigue monitoring relative to utilization. For a 2014 serial 37503 airframe operated by a large carrier such as Avianca, marketability is influenced by cabin configuration, maintenance history, and the continued global support network for the 787 program.
