9Air's N782BA

Boeing is ferrying 9Air's N782BA (c/n 67926, l/n 9695) from BFI to HAK, with overnight stops at JRF and GUM. This grey-tail 737-8 (with Eastar Jet winglets) is using its registration as its flight code, and will receive its Chinese registration upon delivery from HSN. Nothing is listed in available databases, as far as this 737 being ordered and not taken up by Eastar Jet. Current ownership is listed as Phoenix Aviation Capital, a trustee of the Wilmington Trust Company.

This appears to be similar to N769BA, that was ordered by Eastar Jet, not taken up, then later sold to 9Air.
