N886DN

This airframe, registered as N886DN, is a Boeing 737-900ER (737-932ER) line number built by Boeing in 2017 with manufacturer serial number 31998. The aircraft is held in trust by UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE (a corporation based in Salt Lake City, UT, USA), indicating a financial security or leasing structure rather than direct operator ownership; its civil registration is US. Entry into service and operator deployment followed the standard mainline placement pattern and the airframe has been configured in a Delta mainline single-aisle cabin; the trustee ownership suggests continued lease-based operation with periodic remarketing actions. At the time of record the asset valuation is listed at $30,000,000, with maintenance and overall condition corresponding to a mainline, in-service airframe typical for its age and cycle profile.

The aircraft operates in a Delta mainline single-aisle configuration, approximately 180 seats with operator-specific splits among First, Comfort, and Main classes as fitted by the carrier. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include medium-haul domestic and transcontinental services within the U.S. and sector lengths that exploit its 2,443 nm range and 456 kt cruise speed. Standard Boeing 737-900ER avionics and systems are employed consistent with in-service transport-category procedures; maintenance cycles reflect mainline utilization and trust-held financing arrangements that prioritize continuous dispatch reliability. Unique considerations for this specific registration include trustee-held title, which can affect lease returns, repossession procedures, and transitional maintenance inspections at the end of lease terms.

The 737-900ER family occupies the high-capacity end of the Next Generation single-aisle market, offering increased payload and range versus earlier -800/-700 variants. Competing types in airline fleets include stretched A320ceo/neo family variants and regional narrowbodies; resale and lease demand is driven by mainline carriers seeking dense single-aisle capacity. Maintenance and remarketing considerations for a 2017 737-900ER involve monitoring CFM56-7B life-limited parts, fleet commonality value, and the asset’s $30,000,000 market valuation when negotiating lease returns or secondary sales.
