Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N908BH is a Boeing-built Boeing 737-8DV (BBJ2) completed in 2001 with manufacturer's serial 32915. The aircraft is recorded as registered in the US and is listed in ownership records under BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Salt Lake City, UT, US. No public record of separate commercial operators is provided; the trustee ownership suggests use in private, corporate or trust-directed operations rather than airline service. The airframe is appraised at approximately $75,000,000, with broker and listing information indicating VVIP-configured cabin options and upgraded cabin systems reported.
This specific BBJ2 is associated with a VVIP cabin fit reported at approximately 17–18 passenger capacity for the exclusive configuration, while broker listings also cite Part 91/135 layouts that could accommodate up to 149 seats in alternate configurations. Cabin systems are reported to include a Collins Venue in-flight entertainment upgrade alongside a Honeywell/Collins integrated flight avionics suite, reflecting contemporary cockpit and cabin modernization for executive operations. Typical mission profiles for the airframe’s configuration would emphasize long-range intercontinental travel enabled by the 5,735 nm range and high-cruise speeds near 453 kts, supporting transoceanic point-to-point flights for corporate or trust-directed movements. Maintenance considerations align with BBJ2-class requirements for CFM56-7B engines and large-aircraft support infrastructure; trustee ownership may centralize custodial maintenance and regulatory compliance under US registry.
The Boeing 737-8DV (BBJ2) occupies a niche for VVIP and corporate customers seeking narrow-body airliner comfort with extended range and robust field performance. Competing propositions in the large bizliner market include similarly outfitted Airbus A320-based business jets and other 737 BBJ variants, with buyer demand driven by range, cabin customization potential and fleet commonality. Resale and maintenance valuation for this airframe reflect its 2001 build year and the presence of avionics and cabin upgrades; corporate trust ownership and documented VVIP fits can enhance appeal in the charter and private transaction markets but also necessitate thorough records for heavy-maintenance events intrinsic to large commercial-derived business jets.
