N116AN

The airframe bearing registration N116AN is an Airbus A321-231 built in 2014 by Airbus (Airbus Industrie) with manufacturer serial number 6070. The aircraft is recorded as owned by UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Salt Lake City, UT, US; this institutional ownership suggests use in trust-backed financing or lease arrangements rather than direct airline operation. The airframe is registered in the US and is configured and maintained to an operator-specific fit consistent with a typical two-class A321-200 layout; no public record of multiple operators or major registry controversies is provided. Condition and valuation details are not published here, but the configuration and powerplant choice inform typical market positioning for late-model single-aisle jetliners of this vintage.

The cabin on this specific A321 is fitted in a typical two-class A321-200 layout accommodating approximately 185 passengers, reflecting an operator-specific interior fit rather than a bespoke VIP or combi conversion. Avionics and systems align with Airbus A321-231 standards, supporting conventional short- to medium-haul airline operations and enabling efficient cruise at about 470 kts to ranges near 3,200 nm. Based on the trustee ownership model, the aircraft is likely placed on lease to commercial operators and maintained under continuing airworthiness programs appropriate for a 2014-build A321, with routine maintenance considerations focused on the V2533-A5 engine type and airframe structural checks typical for single-aisle service. No unique amenities or nonstandard mission equipment are documented for this tail number.

The A321-231 airframe is part of the A320 family, positioned to offer higher capacity than smaller A320 variants while retaining similar cockpit commonality for operators. With the IAE V2533-A5 engines and the listed performance figures (range 3,200 nm, cruise 470 kts), this airframe suits dense short- to medium-haul trunk routes and thin transcontinental sectors. Competing models include legacy Boeing 737-800/737-900 series in comparable missions; buyer and charter demand for late-model A321s remains strong where seat-mile economics favor single-aisle operations. Maintenance and resale considerations hinge on engine program coverage for the IAE V2533-A5 units and the airframe’s two-class, ~185-seat configuration when returning to the secondary market.
