N877BF

The airframe bearing tail number N877BF is a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, manufacturer's serial number 65997, completed in 2022 and owned by American Airlines (corporation, US). Registered in the United States, the airframe carries the US registration N877BF and entered service with its current owner upon delivery; the airframe’s initial entry into the American Airlines fleet in 2022 remains the primary recorded registry action. The condition and valuation of this specific airframe are reported in line with contemporary 787-8 service entries, reflecting a modern-build example with contemporary engine and avionics fits under corporate ownership.

This specific Boeing 787-8, as operated by American Airlines, is configured for mainline passenger transport on medium- to long-haul routes consistent with the 787-8’s design range and cruise performance. The aircraft is fitted with an integrated flight deck by Honeywell / Rockwell-Collins, supporting advanced avionics, flight management and crew systems used across the carrier’s fleet for commonality in operations and pilot training. Typical mission profiles leverage its long-range capability of 7,355 nm and cruise speed around 490 kts to serve transcontinental and certain transoceanic sectors from American Airlines’ U.S. bases. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow 787-8 fleet standards, including attention to GEnx-1B engine maintenance and airframe systems under the manufacturer and operator programs.

The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner family represents a performance niche focused on long-range, fuel-efficient twin-aisle operations with modern composite construction and advanced systems. In the market, the 787-8 competes with smaller variants of other twin-aisle types for airlines seeking long-range capability with lower capacity; demand from major corporates and network carriers remains steady for late-build frames such as serial 65997. Resale and maintenance considerations hinge on the airframe’s recent build year (2022), GEnx-1B engine type and integrated avionics fit, factors that support sustained operator interest but also require adherence to manufacturer maintenance programs and parts provisioning.
