N221BZ

This airframe, registered as N221BZ, is an Airbus A220-300 (BD-500-1A11) built in 2023 with manufacturer serial number 55206. The aircraft is listed in U.S. registry and is owned by Bank Of Utah Trustee, a corporate owner located in Salt Lake City, UT, US. The registry records and fleet/spotting sources indicate a notable cabin reporting discrepancy—operator sources report a 12/125 C/Y split while the FAA registry lists 153 seats—a detail relevant for valuation and commercial use. The airframe’s estimated market value is $91,500,000, reflecting a modern-build A220 delivered with a contemporary avionics fit and in active registry status.

The aircraft is configured in an operator-reported cabin layout of C12 / Y125 (12 business + 125 economy) per fleet and spotting sources, while the FAA registry records a total of 153 seats; this duality affects passenger planning and certification paperwork. Avionics aboard this airframe are the Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion suite, supporting modern avionics interoperability and crew situational awareness for regional and transcontinental missions. Typical mission profiles for this A220-300 involve short- to medium-haul scheduled commercial service and higher-density regional operations compatible with its 3,400 nm range and cruise of 447 kts. Ownership by a corporate trustee suggests the aircraft may be employed under lease, financing, or asset-management arrangements and requires standard A220 maintenance programs and records to remain compliant with U.S. registry and lessor expectations.

The Airbus A220-300 family occupies a performance niche between regional jets and larger single-aisle airliners, offering competitive fuel efficiency and cabin comfort for routes up to 3,400 nm. It competes with advanced regional and small single-aisle types in markets prioritizing lower trip costs and passenger experience; the PW1521G propulsion contributes to that competitive operating economics. For purchasers and lessors, resale and maintenance considerations center on engine program coverage, avionics standardization such as Pro Line Fusion, and verified cabin configuration given the noted discrepancy between spotting reports and FAA registry data.
