N869DN

This airframe, registered as N869DN, is a Boeing 737-932ER (737-900ER) completed in 2016 with manufacturer serial number 31980. The aircraft is titled to UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE (a corporation based in Salt Lake City, UT, US) and is U.S.-registered; ownership is held in trust rather than by an airline lessor or operator directly. The airframe has operated in a mainline Delta three-class domestic configuration and is typically managed and maintained to the carrier’s fleet standards; registration and trustee arrangements have been used to secure financing and manage asset custody. Official market valuation for this specific airframe is not published.

This airframe is fitted in a three-class mainline Delta layout (First / Comfort+ / Main), reflecting the typical Delta 737-900ER domestic configuration and a 222-seat dense seating plan for high-capacity short- to medium-haul routes. Avionics and systems conform to Boeing 737NG standards for the 900ER family, supporting domestic transcontinental missions within the quoted range and cruise profile. Based on its operator configuration and trust ownership, the aircraft undertakes high-frequency scheduled flights from Delta’s U.S. bases and is maintained to airline cycle and block-hour intervals, with maintenance oversight coordinated between the trustee, operator, and approved MRO providers. Unique operational considerations for this specific airframe include integration into Delta’s cabin product and adherence to the operator’s heavy-check schedules.

The Boeing 737-900ER is positioned as a high-capacity derivative of the 737 Next Generation series, offering extended range and seating compared with earlier 737-900 variants. With a 2,720 nm range and 222-seat layout, it competes with Airbus A321ceo-family models for dense domestic and transcontinental markets. Demand has historically been driven by mainline carriers requiring high seat-mile economics; resale and remarketing factors for this airframe are influenced by operator-specific cabin fit, cycle count, and the trustee ownership structure, which can simplify lease transitions but may add administrative steps during sale or transfer.
