N225BZ

This airframe, registered as N225BZ, is an Airbus A220-300 (BD-500-1A11) manufactured by Airbus Canada Limited Partnership and completed in 2023 with manufacturer serial number 55225. The aircraft is owned by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE (a corporation based in Salt Lake City, UT, US) and carries a United States registration; ownership is currently held in trust under that entity. The airframe entered service following delivery in 2023 and, as recorded, remains on the U.S. registry; its recorded market valuation at delivery is $48,000,000. Condition indicators from the production year and OEM delivery suggest a modern build with standard warranty and entry-into-service status for a 2023-aircraft.

The cabin fit for this specific A220-300 reflects the family’s flexible interior options: a typical two-class layout is noted as operator-configurable in the 120–150 seat band, while this airframe is equipped with 153 seats, indicating a higher-density configuration for regional or short‑haul trunk operations. The listing of “Airspace cabin elements” signals the presence of Airbus’s contemporary interior architecture, lighting and passenger systems as delivered from the factory. Typical missions for this airframe type include short- to medium-range scheduled passenger services and higher-frequency regional routes, leveraging the A220-300’s efficiency and range. As a recent build, maintenance considerations follow standard new-aircraft programs and PW1521G maintenance planning centering on geared turbofan inspections and time‑component tracking.

The Airbus A220-300 occupies a niche for single-aisle operations where improved fuel efficiency and passenger comfort are required on routes up to the aircraft’s 3,400 nm range and cruise speeds near 447 kts. Competing models in similar missions include variants of the Embraer E2 family and smaller narrowbodies; however, the A220 series is often selected for its cabin width and lower trip costs on thin to mid-density routes. Buyer and lease demand for recent-production A220s remains strong due to modern engines and airframe economics, and resale considerations for a 2023-built unit include favorable residuals tied to low-cycle, late-production status and manufacturer support.
