N879BH

The airframe bearing tail number N879BH is a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner built in 2022 with manufacturer serial number 65999. The certificate and financial title for this aircraft are held by WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Wilmington, Delaware, indicating a trust-held ownership arrangement. The airframe is finished in an American Airlines three-class cabin specification and has been deployed in mainline passenger service under the US registration N879BH. As a 2022-build 787-8, the airframe represents a relatively young example of the model line with corresponding condition and utilization characteristics typical of recent deliveries.

This specific Boeing 787-8 is outfitted in an American Airlines 3-class cabin arrangement comprising 20 Business, 28 Premium Economy, 48 Economy Comfort and 138 Economy seats for a total of 234 seats, aligning the airframe for medium- to long-haul international and transcontinental routes. The flight deck carries Honeywell / Rockwell-Collins avionics in a common 787 fitment, supporting contemporary navigation, flight management and integrated systems monitoring. Typical mission profiles for this configuration emphasize long-range, high-capacity scheduled passenger service within the 787-8’s 8,000 nm capability and cruise speed of 490 kts, with maintenance considerations following Boeing and OEM engine program intervals for the GEnx-1B70/P2. The trust ownership structure can influence lease/finance arrangements and transfer formalities during major maintenance or remarketing.

The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner occupies a performance niche focused on long-range, fuel-efficient operations with a moderate passenger capacity suitable for thin long-haul routes and dense transoceanic sectors. Competing products in similar missions include smaller variants of the Airbus A350 family and used widebody types positioned in secondary markets. Demand for 787-8s tends to be driven by mainline carriers and leasing companies seeking efficient long-range fleet flexibility, while maintenance and resale considerations center on engine program status, remaining structural/airframe life, and the aircraft’s fitment for major carriers such as American Airlines. The presence of modern avionics and a recent build year generally supports stronger residual value and appeal in lease and secondary-market transactions.
