Model & Market Context

This airframe, N121AN, is an Airbus A321-231 built by Airbus in 2014 with manufacturer serial number 6238. The aircraft is registered in the US and is recorded as owned by the corporate trustee BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, located in Salt Lake City, UT, US. Recorded ownership by a financial trustee indicates the airframe has been held as an asset under corporate financing or lease security arrangements. The airframe's estimated market value is $46,500,000, reflecting its late-model build year and typical configuration for medium-density passenger operations.

The airframe is fitted in a two-class cabin layout reported in operator fleet data as approximately C20Y170 (about 20 Business / 170 Economy), giving it a 190-seat capacity suitable for high-density short- to medium-haul routes. With a cruise speed of 450 kts and a maximum practical range of 2,650 nm, the aircraft is typically deployed on domestic and transcontinental missions within the continental United States and nearby international sectors. Routine operations would reflect standard A321 maintenance and component support cycles for the IAE V2533-A5 engine type; specific avionics fit and unique onboard amenities for this registration are not published in the supplied data. Ongoing trustee ownership suggests maintenance and dispatch decisions may be coordinated with lessees or operating carriers rather than the registered owner.

The Airbus A321-231 sits in the narrow-body, single-aisle family positioned for medium-capacity routes where higher seat counts than smaller A320 variants are required. Its performance—39,000 ft ceiling, 450 kts cruise and 2,650 nm range—competes directly with stretched derivatives of the Boeing 737 family in airline and charter markets. Demand for late-model A321 airframes remains strong among operators seeking dense two-class configurations; resale and lease marketability is supported by the airframe’s 2014 build year but will be influenced by engine maintenance status and lease encumbrances tied to trustee ownership.
