N103US

This airframe, registered as N103US, is an Airbus-built narrowbody delivered in 1999 with manufacturer serial number 0861. The airframe is a Airbus A320-214 and is owned by UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Salt Lake City, UT; the aircraft has been typically operated in a mainline two-class configuration by American Airlines. The U.S.-registered (US) airframe features twin CFM powerplants and a certified capacity of 182 seats; ownership by a financial trustee reflects its role in leased or asset-backed financing arrangements. No public valuation was published for this specific airframe.

The aircraft is typically configured in a two-class mainline layout when in service, usually operated by American Airlines with an in-service seating pattern of approximately 12 business / 138 economy = ~150 seats despite a certified capacity of 182 seats. With a range of 3,300 nm and cruise speed near 447 kts, this airframe is suited to short- to medium-haul mainline routes operated from U.S. hubs. Maintenance and operational planning for this example centers on the twin CFM56-5B4/P engines and aging 1999 airframe systems, while its registry under a corporate trustee indicates common leasing or financing structures influencing dispatch availability and asset management.

The Airbus A320-214 of serial 0861 sits within the high-volume A320 family segment serving dense short- and medium-haul markets, offering a certified capacity of 182 seats and typical in-service arrangements nearer ~150 seats when in two-class layouts. Competition in this segment emphasizes fuel efficiency, turn‑time economics, and engine support; ownership by UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE typifies aircraft held in trust for leaseback or finance vehicles, affecting resale timing and remarketing. Given its 1999 build year and CFM56 powerplants, buyers and operators factor in mid‑life maintenance events and engine shop visit schedules when assessing operational value and future resale.
