ESTIMATED VALUE

What N8920Q might be worth

Rough range$51M to $140M

A rough range for a 2023 airliner, with a middle of about $84M. From Radar's listing-based estimates for airliners of similar engine thrust and age. It is not an appraisal and knows nothing about N8920Q itself: total time, engines, condition, equipment and the logbooks move the price of any one aircraft.
