N1440N

The airframe bearing tail number N1440N is an Airbus A340-642 (A340-600) built in 2003 with manufacturer's serial number 0440. It is owned by TVPX AIRCRAFT SOLUTIONS INC TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in North Salt Lake, UT, US, and is registered in the US. The FAA record for this airframe lists a typical three-class/high-density certified seating arrangement at 375 seats, and the airframe has been noted for trustee-held corporate ownership rather than airline operator control. Trustee ownership and U.S. registration are the principal administrative characteristics recorded for this specific airframe.

The FAA shows the cabin certified for a typical 3-class/high-density layout with 375 seats, while the airframe is capable of VIP conversions should a change of role be undertaken. Operationally this A340-600 airframe is equipped for long-range, high-capacity missions consistent with its 7,802 nm range and transcontinental to intercontinental cruise profile at 480 kts. The four Rolls-Royce Trent 556 engines provide the necessary sustained thrust for long-haul cruise and high payload operations. With corporate trustee ownership based in North Salt Lake, UT, routine maintenance and any configuration changes would be managed under U.S. registry and regulatory oversight, with attention to heavy-aircraft maintenance cycles typical for four‑engine widebodies.

The Airbus A340-642 (A340-600) represents the high-capacity, long-range end of the A340 family, optimized for heavy-pax missions where runway and weight restrictions permit four-engine operations. With a certified ceiling of 41,450 ft and seating for 375, it occupies a niche versus twin-engine long-range models by offering increased passenger density and redundancy at the cost of higher fuel and maintenance expenditures. Market demand for A340-600 airframes tends toward specialized long-haul, high-capacity passenger or VIP-transport conversions; resale and maintenance considerations focus on engine shop visits for four Trent 556 powerplants and airframe refurbishment to suit either airline or VIP interiors.
