N940AN

This article covers airframe N940AN, a Boeing 737-823 (737-800, Next-Generation) built in 2000 with manufacturer's serial number 30598. The airframe is recorded as owned by Wilmington Trust Co Trustee, a corporate trustee based in Wilmington, DE, US, and carries United States registration and registry entries. Operator identity and base have varied with reported interior configurations; current operator/home base are not published in the supplied data. Valuation notes for this specific airframe list a market value of $17,550,000, and the aircraft is configured and maintained in line with typical commercial 737NG practices per its reported layout and engine type.

The reported operator layout for N940AN is 16 business / 144 economy, noting that operator configurations may vary and that this reflects one commonly reported cabin split rather than a permanent factory arrangement. Specific avionics fit and in-service modifications are not published in the supplied data; routine operations for this airframe would align with medium-haul trunk and charter missions consistent with a 3,085 nm range and 460 kt cruise. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow standard 737NG schedules, driven by its twin CFM56-7B24 engines and accumulated airframe cycles since its year 2000 manufacture. Ownership by a corporate trustee suggests use in leased, finance, or asset-management roles rather than direct airline operating control.

The Boeing 737-823 (737-800, Next-Generation) family occupies a medium-haul single-aisle niche with high commonality across operators, competing principally with Airbus A320-family types. Aircraft of this vintage (2000 build) and seating capacity remain in demand for replacement narrowbody services, charter, and ACMI leasing, though market value and desirability hinge on maintenance history, remaining structural life, and engine condition. Resale and maintenance considerations for N940AN specifically will center on CFM56-7B shop visit status, interior refurbishments tied to the 16/144 layout, and its trustee ownership structure which can affect transfer and financing processes.
