Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N878NN, is a Boeing 737-823 built by The Boeing Company in 2011 with manufacturer serial number 40768. Ownership is recorded under WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE as a corporate trustee based in Wilmington, DE, US, and the aircraft carries a US registration.

The cabin of N878NN is configured in a typical two-class layout with 162 seats (business plus economy), though the exact fit can vary by airline as noted. This airframe, equipped with twin CFM56-7B24E turbofans, is suited to short- to medium-haul scheduled and charter operations consistent with the 737-800 family’s role; typical mission profiles include domestic point-to-point and regional trunk routes within the aircraft’s 3,115 nm ferry range and cruise speed near 440 kts. Specific avionics fit and operator-specific amenities for this serial are not detailed in the provided data. Maintenance considerations follow common 737-800 practice for CFM56-equipped airframes, with operator-specific checks and scheduled shop visits determined by utilization and lease or trustee oversight.
The Boeing 737-823 is a member of the Next Generation 737-800 line, positioned for single-aisle short- to medium-haul markets competing with variants of the Airbus A320 family. With a service ceiling of 41,000 ft, a practical cruise of 440 kts, and seating around 162 in two classes, it remains popular with carriers and lessors for its blend of capacity and range. Buyer and charter demand generally favors well-maintained, CFM56-powered 737-800s, while resale and maintenance cycles are influenced by engine life, airframe cycles, and any operator-specific cabin refurbishments not specified for this serial.
