Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N879CM is a 2021-built example of the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, constructor serial 66874 / 1090. As a US-registered transport, the airframe is recorded under the US registry and carries a factory build year of 2021. Publicly available data for this specific airframe indicate standard delivery-era configuration details and registry status, while detailed ownership timeline and operator/operator base information are limited to the registration record. Notable registry actions include its entry as a US-registered long-range twinjet; valuation and condition notes are not published beyond typical new-build condition at time of delivery.
This individual Boeing 787-9 is equipped with a modern integrated flight deck identified as the Honeywell / Rockwell Collins flight deck, supporting contemporary avionics and crew interfaces. The aircraft’s long-range capability (approximately 7,635 nm) and cruise speed (488 kts) position it for transcontinental and intercontinental scheduled or charter missions from a US operating base; however, operator identity and exact home base are not specified in the public registry. Cabin layout specifics and passenger seating count for this serial are not published here, though 787-9 airframes are typically configured for mixed-class long-haul service. Maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect the type’s Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engine support footprint and the Dreamliner’s composite-structure maintenance regime.
The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner occupies the mid-to-long-range widebody niche, offering operators a balance of range and capacity relative to the smaller 787-8 and larger 787-10 variants. Competing models in the long-range twin-aisle sector include Airbus A330neo and A350 family types. Demand from buyers and charter operators favors 787-9 airframes for efficient long-range routing, while resale and maintenance considerations hinge on Trent 1000 engine support cycles, airframe utilization, and avionics fit such as the installed Honeywell / Rockwell Collins flight deck.
