N888TY

The airframe bearing tail number N888TY is a Boeing-built airliner converted to a business jet, delivered in 2000 with manufacturer serial number 29749. Constructed as a Boeing 737-7AH BBJ, the airframe is recorded on the US register and is held by the corporate owner TY AIR INC of Wilmington, DE, US. Registered in the United States to TY AIR INC, based in Wilmington, Delaware. The airframe carries a reported market valuation of $19,000,000 and is configured and maintained in a VIP executive completion for business and long-range missions.

The interior is fitted with a VIP executive completion; exact interior specification and the completion provider are not publicly listed. With a 149-seat certification basis but delivered as an executive-configured BBJ, this airframe is optimized for corporate, government or charter long-range missions that take advantage of its extended-range capability. Typical operational profiles for this configuration emphasize transcontinental to intercontinental sectors up to its 6,085 nm range, operating from the owner/operator base in Wilmington, DE, US and elsewhere as required. Maintenance considerations align with the airframe’s commercial derivative origins—heavy-airframe systems and twin CFM56 powerplants requiring approved line and base maintenance programs consistent with corporate BBJ operations.

The Boeing 737-7AH BBJ occupies a niche for operators needing a wide, high-comfort cabin with the operational commonality of the 737 family while extending range for long corporate sectors. Competing offerings include other BBJ variants and large-cabin corporate airframes from both Boeing and Airbus, with buyer and charter demand driven by cabin size, range and operating economics. Resale and maintenance assessments reflect the airframe’s year (2000), serial (29749) and the continued global support for CFM56-7 series engines, factors that shape lifecycle cost and market liquidity for this fixed-wing multi-engine BBJ.
