N940BC

The airframe bearing tail number N940BC is a Boeing 777-212(ER) built by The Boeing Company in 2002, serial number 32335. The airframe is recorded as owned by ALTA 777 LLC — an LLC registered in Salt Lake City, UT — and carries a US civil registration. Registry records indicate it has been maintained under US registry throughout its service life, with ownership consolidated under the listed LLC for asset-holding and operational flexibility. Condition and valuation highlights for this specific airframe are typical of early-2000s 777-200ERs: mature, long-range airframes with established maintenance histories and market value sensitive to engine type and structural cycles.

The subject aircraft historically featured a cabin configuration noted as C26Y245, reflecting a two-class layout with 26 business-class and 245 economy seats in the airline layout, supporting high-density long-haul service. Typical mission profiles for this airframe center on transoceanic and long-range trunk routes, leveraging the declared 7,730 nm range and cruise speed for nonstop sectors between distant city pairs. As an asset under ALTA 777 LLC based in Salt Lake City, UT, operational considerations include line maintenance access in North American hubs and component pool availability for the Trent 800 series engines. The aircraft’s twin Trent 892 powerplants drive maintenance planning and cost profiles distinct from GE and PW-powered 777 variants.

The Boeing 777-212(ER) occupies the long-range widebody niche as a high-capacity, long-endurance twin, competing historically with other early-generation long-range twins for airline and charter demand. The combination of a 452-seat capability and extended-range performance made this model attractive for dense long-haul markets; however, buyer and lease demand in the secondary market depends heavily on engine type, remaining fatigue life, and cabin configuration. Maintenance and resale considerations specific to this airframe include lifecycle management of the Trent 892 engines and potential refurbishment of its historical C26Y245 cabin to meet contemporary passenger expectations.
