Model & Market Context

The airframe bearing registration N1438 is an Airbus A321-231 (PCF) built in 2001 with manufacturer serial number 1438. It is owned by Bank Of Utah Trustee, a corporate trustee based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and appears on the US registry under that corporate ownership. Converted May 2023 to a P2F freighter with main deck cargo configuration from its original passenger certification listing 379 seats. Notable registry and status entries reflect its transition from a passenger-configured A321-231 to a freighter asset operated/managed under trustee ownership for commercial cargo deployment.

This airframe is configured as a P2F freighter with a main deck cargo arrangement following its May 2023 conversion; its original certification listed 379 passenger seats prior to modification. Typical mission profiles for this configuration emphasize medium-haul cargo operations within the aircraft’s 3,200 nm range and cruise at approximately 450 kts, operating up to service ceilings around 39,000 ft. As a corporate-owned asset by Bank Of Utah Trustee in Salt Lake City, operational basing and dispatch are likely aligned with US domestic and regional freight networks; maintenance considerations focus on freighter conversion inspections and continued airworthiness of the IAE V2533-A5 powerplants. Cabin and cargo system specifics beyond the main-deck layout are not published in the supplied data.

The Airbus A321-231 (PCF) occupies a niche as a narrow-body, single-aisle freighter conversion based on a widely used passenger variant, offering a balance of payload and range for short- to medium-haul cargo routes. Competing types in the same market include converted Boeing 737 freighters and other A320-family P2F conversions; demand generally centers on integrators, lessors, and parcel carriers seeking cost-effective capacity. Maintenance and resale considerations include the age of this airframe (built 2001), lifecycle status of the IAE V2533-A5 engines, and the market acceptance of the specific P2F conversion used in its May 2023 modification.
