N836AA

This airframe, registered as N836AA, is a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner completed in 2018 with manufacturer serial number 40654. The airframe is held by WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE (a corporation based in Wilmington, DE, US), indicating a finance or trustee ownership structure rather than direct airline operation. Registration is under the US registry; operator and home base details are not published. Notable registry actions and current valuation or condition highlights are not published.

The configuration for this specific 787-9 lists 422 seats, indicating a high-density layout suitable for medium- to long-haul revenue operations or high-capacity charter work rather than a typical two- or three-class premium long-range configuration. The flight deck is fitted with a Honeywell / Rockwell-Collins integrated avionics suite, supporting advanced flight-management, navigation and systems monitoring typical of modern widebodies. With a design range of 8,500 nm and a cruise speed near 488 kts, the aircraft is capable of intercontinental transoceanic missions; however, the trustee ownership suggests it may be leased to an operator or held for asset management rather than flown by the owner. Maintenance considerations would align with the 787-9 fleet standard, including GEnx-1B engine support programs and composite airframe structural inspections.

The Boeing 787-9 occupies the long-range, mid-capacity widebody niche between the smaller 787-8 and larger 787-10 variants, offering a balance of range and seating flexibility exemplified by this airframe’s 8,500 nm range and 422-seat fit. Competing models in similar missions include the Airbus A330neo and A350 family for longer-range, higher-capacity services; market demand often favors 787s for airlines seeking fuel-efficient long-range single-aisle replacement capacity. For buyers and lessors, the 2018 build year and GEnx-1B engines are favorable for remaining economic life, though resale and maintenance planning must account for engine shop visit cycles and evolving aftermarket support for composite structures.
