N882DN

This entry describes airframe N882DN, a Boeing-built Boeing 737-900ER completed in 2017 with manufacturer's serial number 31994. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is held in trust by UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, which is listed as the owner of record. In commercial service the airframe is configured for Delta mainline operations; registry records indicate U.S. registration and trustee ownership rather than direct airline ownership, a notable paperwork posture for financing and remarketing. No independent valuation or condition survey is published here; the aircraft’s late-model build year and mainline configuration, however, typically support stronger marketability within its class.

The aircraft operates in a two-class mainline layout in Delta service with marketed cabin divisions of First, Comfort+ and Main; operator fitout typically seats approximately 170–180 passengers depending on specific interior choices, although the model’s factory maximum seating is recorded as 222. Avionics and systems are standard for a production Boeing 737-900ER of its vintage, supporting typical short- to medium-haul trunk routes and transcontinental sectors within the aircraft’s 3,235 nm range. As a trustee-owned asset used in airline service, the airframe may be subject to lessor or lender maintenance oversight and standard heavy-check cycles consistent with mainline operator practices.

The Boeing 737-900ER family occupies the upper end of the 737 Next Generation series, offering extended range and higher passenger capacity versus earlier 737 variants. With twin CFM56-7B engines producing 26,300 lbf each and a cruise speed near 473 kts, it competes in the single-aisle long-reach market against high-capacity variants of competing narrowbodies. Buyer demand is influenced by late-model year status (this airframe: 2017), commonality for fleet operators, and considerations for heavy maintenance checks and potential reconfiguration from mainline two-class layouts to alternative dense or lower-density fittings.
