N123NN

This airframe, registered as N123NN, is an Airbus A321-231 built in 2014 with manufacturer serial number 6256. The aircraft carries a US registration and is recorded as owned by UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE (a corporate trustee), a custodial ownership structure that suggests its use in a financial or lease arrangement rather than direct operator ownership. Held in trust under the UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE entity, the aircraft’s registry indicates preservation of asset value and facilitation of lease or sale transactions. The airframe’s reported market valuation is $38,000,000, reflecting its mid‑life status and configuration for passenger operations.

The cabin is listed with a typical A321 passenger layout, supporting 170–200 passengers in common two‑class arrangements, though final seating is operator‑specific. As configured for passenger transport, this airframe would normally be equipped with the A321 family avionics suite and associated airline‑grade systems consistent with factory fit for the A321‑231 variant. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft type include short‑ to medium‑haul trunk and regional routes within the aircraft’s 3,213 nm range and up to its service ceiling of 39,800 ft. Given the trustee ownership, routine operations are likely conducted under lease to an airline or ACMI operator, with maintenance and dispatch subject to lessee agreements and standard A‑check/C‑check cycles customary for the A321 fleet.

The Airbus A321‑231 is a stretched, higher‑capacity member of the A320 family, positioned for higher‑density short‑to‑medium haul routes where operators require more seats without moving to widebody types. Competing models in this niche include higher‑capacity variants of the Boeing 737 family and other narrowbodies adapted for high‑density configurations. Market demand for used A321s remains driven by airlines seeking seat‑mile efficiency; resale value and remarketing prospects for this 2014 airframe are influenced by its in‑trust ownership, airframe age, engine type (IAE V2533‑A5), and the prevailing narrowbody market dynamics. Maintenance considerations follow standard A321 practices, with costs and component life governed by cycles, hours and operator maintenance programs.
