N238FR

This airframe, registered as N238FR, is an Airbus A320-214 (WL) manufactured by Airbus in 2016 with manufacturer serial number 7458. The airframe is held in corporate trust by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE (a corporation based in Salt Lake City, UT, US) and carries a US registration. Held by a financial trust rather than an operating airline, the airframe’s legal and commercial status reflects institutional ownership rather than end-user operation. Valuation and public condition reports for this specific airframe are not published.

The airframe is configured with a high-density single-class cabin accommodating 182 passengers, reflecting a layout optimized for short- to medium-haul, high-capacity operations consistent with a 3,100 nm range and cruise speed of 447 kts. Specific avionics fit, current operator, and home-base details are not published; maintenance and operational oversight are likely managed under the aircraft’s corporate trust arrangement. Engine selection of 2× CFM56-5B4/P units implies maintenance considerations consistent with that powerplant family, while the high-density cabin implies intensive daily utilization in a point-to-point passenger role if deployed by an operator.

As an Airbus A320-214 (WL) built in 2016, this airframe sits within a narrowbody, single-aisle performance niche defined by roughly 180–190 seat high-density layouts and transregional range capability. The combination of a 3,100 nm range, 447 kts cruise, and 27,000 lbf thrust engines positions it for dense domestic or regional trunk routes under high-utilization models. Buyer, lessor, or charter demand for such an airframe typically hinges on cabin density, maintenance status, and clear title — factors influenced here by the trustee ownership structure rather than operator pedigree. Resale and maintenance pathways will reference the airframe’s 2016 manufacture date and the commonality of the CFM56-5B4/P engine type for lifecycle support.
