N947BA

The airframe bearing tail number N947BA is a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner built in 2016 with manufacturer serial number 35507. Ownership is recorded to the corporation Bank of Utah Trustee, located in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and the aircraft carries a US registration; no commercial operator is listed in the provided data. Reported sale/listings circa 2021 described a two-class interior and an aft lounge but the airframe was never placed into commercial service, a notable condition affecting its operational history. The airframe is assigned an indicated market value of $25,000,000, a figure cited in the available data as a valuation highlight.

The aircraft’s reported cabin configuration from sale/listing material (circa 2021) described a two-class layout of approximately 18 business-class seats plus ~244 economy seats and an aft lounge; this fitout, however, was never placed into commercial service for this specific airframe. With a published ferry or mission range of 8,000 nm and a cruise speed near 490 kts, the airframe’s performance envelope supports long-haul transoceanic missions in typical 787-8 employment. Maintenance considerations are influenced by its twin GEnx-1B engine fit and by its status as a parked/listed airframe rather than an actively flown airliner, factors that can affect storage and reactivation work scopes. The registered owner’s location in Salt Lake City, UT, US provides a domestic registry and administrative base for any disposition or return-to-service actions.

As a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner airframe, N947BA embodies the 787-8 family performance metrics indicated here—long-range capability to 8,000 nm, cruise at 490 kts, and a service ceiling of 43,000 ft—characteristics that define its operational niche in long-haul passenger transport. The listed value of $25,000,000 for this 2016-built airframe, combined with its interior described but not certified into commercial service, frames typical resale and reconfiguration considerations for buyers or trustees managing asset disposition. Engine type (GEnx-1B) and the airframe’s registration and ownership status inform maintenance planning, marketability, and potential role transitions for this specific 787-8.
