N121DU

This airframe, registered as N121DU, is an Airbus A220-100 (BD-500-1A10) built in 2019 with manufacturer's serial number 50040. Manufactured by Airbus Canada Limited Partnership (originally Bombardier CSeries), the airframe is held in trust by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a corporate owner based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and carries a US civil registration. The aircraft is equipped and configured for commercial passenger service and shows the typical ownership pathway for leased or trust-held narrow‑body regional jets; specific operator and home base details are not published. Registry actions beyond initial US registration and the current trust ownership are not publicly noted, and valuation or condition summaries have not been published for this specific airframe.

The aircraft is fitted in a Delta three-class layout, approximately 12 First / 15 Comfort+ / 82 Economy = 109 seats, reflecting a dense short- to medium-haul configuration for network operations. With its PW1519G geared turbofan engines, the ship is optimized for fuel-efficient cruise and lower noise emissions on routes up to its published range of 3,450 nm, commonly used on transcontinental and longer thin‑route city pairs. Avionics and systems are standard for the A220-100 family; specific supplemental equipment, optional interiors, or unique onboard amenities for this serial are not detailed in the available data. Maintenance considerations align with airline/regional operator schedules and engine shop visits common to the PW1500G family, and ownership by a trust suggests lease management and remarketing considerations are relevant to its operational status.

The Airbus A220-100 (BD-500-1A10) occupies a performance niche between regional jets and larger single-aisles, offering lower seat counts with long range and high fuel efficiency for its class, as exemplified by this 109-seat configuration and 3,450 nm range. Competing types include smaller variants of the Embraer E2 family and older narrow‑body types that cannot match the PW1500G’s specific fuel burn and noise profile. Buyer and charter demand tends to favor the A220’s combination of range and cabin comfort, while maintenance and resale considerations focus on the newer geared‑fan engine lifecycle, fleet commonality, and the secondary‑market dynamics of trust‑held airframes.
