N788DP

This airframe, registered as N788DP, is a Boeing Business Jet built on a Boeing 737-79U (BBJ) airframe, serial number 29441, completed in 1999. The aircraft is recorded in the US registry and is owned by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, with ownership noted in the public registration record. As a corporate-owned BBJ configured on a short-fuselage 737 Classic derivative, the airframe’s documented history centers on trustee-held ownership rather than an airline operating lineage. Notable registry actions include its US registration and trustee ownership status, which typically reflect financial or asset-holding structures rather than direct commercial operation; condition and valuation details have not been published.

Configured on a Boeing 737-79U (BBJ) platform, this airframe’s cabin layout is consistent with BBJ mission flexibility, allowing corporate, VIP, or high-density seating arrangements up to 149 seats depending on fit; specific interior fit for this ship is not published. Typical mission profiles take advantage of a continental transoceanic-capable ferry range of 3,060 nm and a cruise speed near 440 kts, making it suitable for long-range corporate sectors or repositioning flights within and between domestic and near-international theaters. Based on its trustee ownership and US registration, operational control often resides with a separate operator or management company rather than the named owner; maintenance considerations follow the 737-700/BBJ inspection and parts support patterns for the CFM56-7B-powered fleet.

The Boeing 737-79U (BBJ) occupies a niche within the business and VIP transport market that prioritizes commonality with 737 commercial support networks while offering enhanced cabin volume compared with smaller business jets. With twin CFM56-7B engines and a 41,000 ft service ceiling, it competes with long-range narrow-body corporate conversions and purpose-built large-cabin bizliners for buyers seeking a balance of range, capacity, and availability of spares. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 1999-built airframe hinge on airframe hours, interior condition, and the economics of CFM56-7B support, together with the documented trustee ownership structure that can affect market liquidity.
