N8987Q

The airframe bearing tail number N8987Q is a United States–registered aircraft recorded under the ownership of SOUTHWEST AIRLINES CO, a corporation based in Dallas, TX, US. Specific build year and manufacturer serial number are not published in the available registry extract, and there are no additional recorded changes of ownership or lease encumbrances beyond the corporate registration. The operator and legal owner appear to be consolidated under the same corporate entity, with the aircraft listed on the U.S. registry and maintained under the regulatory oversight applicable to U.S.-registered air carriers. No recent notable registry actions such as deregistration, export, or lien filings are published in the provided data; condition and valuation details likewise are not published.

Operationally, N8987Q is recorded to a major U.S. air carrier headquartered in Dallas, TX, implying that its mission profile, maintenance program, and route deployment would align with the commercial passenger or related operational standards of that operator. Detailed cabin layout, passenger seating configuration, and avionics fit for this specific airframe are not published in the supplied data. Routine operations, if consistent with the owner’s fleet practices, would be supported by the carrier’s established maintenance organization and parts support network; however, no unique amenities, retrofit history, or maintenance deviations specific to N8987Q are documented in the provided information.

Without published model or serial details for N8987Q, family-level analysis must remain generalized: aircraft owned by large U.S. carriers typically occupy roles on short- to medium-haul scheduled networks and face market considerations such as fleet commonality, parts availability, and cyclic heavy maintenance schedules. Resale and secondary-market valuation for an airframe with this registration depend heavily on type, configuration, and maintenance records, none of which are published in the provided dataset. The only market-relevant certainty from the registry extract is the corporate ownership by SOUTHWEST AIRLINES CO, which indicates integration into the operator’s broader asset-management strategy rather than independent private ownership.
