N840KW

The airframe registered as N840KW is a Boeing-built long-range twinjet delivered in 2002, carrying manufacturer serial number 32890. Built by Boeing Commercial Airplanes as a Boeing 777-246(ER), the airframe is currently owned by ALTA 777 LLC of Salt Lake City, UT, a corporate lessor/operator entity. The aircraft is registered in the US and retains a historic cabin configuration that reflects its prior identity when operated as JA702J under Japan Airlines' three-class layout. Notable registry actions include its transition from Japanese operation to U.S. registration and placement into corporate ownership with subsequent preservation of the original cabin arrangement.

The airframe carries a historic JAL three-class cabin layout of 56 Business / 40 Premium Economy / 149 Economy as operated under the former registration JA702J, yielding a total of 245 passenger seats. Typical mission profiles for this ER-series airframe emphasize long-haul scheduled or charter operations within its quoted 7,730 nm range and cruise speed of 490 kts, operating from a corporate base associated with its owner in Salt Lake City, UT when not on lease. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe follow GE90-94B engine support norms and Boeing 777 airframe heavy-check intervals; preservation of the historic JAL interior may affect refurbishment or reconfiguration planning.

As a member of the 777-200ER family, the Boeing 777-246(ER) occupies a long-range, high-capacity niche competing historically with early variants of the Airbus A330/A340 and newer twinjets in used widebody markets. Demand often centers on carriers and lessors seeking proven long-range capability with high-capacity seating and GE90-series engine availability. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific 2002-built airframe include lifecycle of GE90-94B engines, inspection status tied to serial 32890, and potential reconfiguration costs should a new operator require a different cabin mix from the preserved JAL three-class layout.
