ESTIMATED VALUE

What N8631A might be worth

Rough range$24M to $65M

A rough range for a 2014 airliner, with a middle of about $40M. From Radar's listing-based estimates for airliners of similar engine thrust and age. It is not an appraisal and knows nothing about N8631A itself: total time, engines, condition, equipment and the logbooks move the price of any one aircraft.
