Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered N879BJ, is a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner built in 2020 with manufacturer serial number 63348. The aircraft is owned by Boeing Company, a corporate owner based in Renton, WA, US, and carries a US civil registration. The airframe is recorded as a fixed-wing multi-engine transport and has remained associated with its manufacturer since delivery, with no publicized transfer to a third-party airline operator. Condition and valuation specifics are not published beyond standard platform configuration and equipment.

The specific cabin seating layout and passenger configuration for N879BJ are not published; as a 787-9 this airframe is typically adaptable for long-range passenger or mixed cargo/passenger missions consistent with its 8,500 nm range. The installed avionics suite is the integrated 787 flight deck, using standard platform suppliers and components from Honeywell/Rockwell-Collins. With Boeing Company listed as owner in Renton, WA, operational roles for this particular serial often include manufacturer test, crew training, or demonstration duties rather than regular scheduled airline service, and maintenance follows Boeing and Rolls‑Royce continuing airworthiness programs for the 787/Trent 1000 combination.

The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner occupies a long-range widebody niche focused on fuel-efficient, medium-to-large capacity intercontinental routes, competing with other modern twin-aisle designs. Its combination of a long ferry range (8,500 nm), high subsonic cruise (490 kts) and twin Rolls‑Royce Trent 1000 engines (71,000 lbf each) makes it attractive to airlines and lessors seeking extended non-stop routings. Market considerations for this airframe type include engine-specific maintenance cycles for the Trent 1000 family and residual value trends tied to long-haul demand and widebody fleet renewal policies.
