N240BZ

The airframe bearing tail number N240BZ is an Airbus A220-300 (manufacturer designation BD-500-1A11) completed in 2024 by Airbus Canada LP with manufacturer's serial number 55300. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by the corporate trustee BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, based in Salt Lake City, UT, US. As a 2024 build it retains a factory-new configuration and maintenance pedigree consistent with a recent delivery; the airframe is held in trust under corporate ownership rather than direct airline registry. No public record of operator leasebacks or subsequent ownership transfers is published.

This specific A220-300 is fitted for a 153-seat layout, indicating a single-aisle regional/short‑to‑medium haul passenger configuration optimized for higher-density seating relative to lower-capacity variants. Avionics and detailed cabin fit items are not published; however, as a 2024 production A220-300 it is expected to carry the standard Airbus flight deck and modern avionics suite associated with the type. Typical mission profiles for this airframe, given its 3,400 nm range and cruise of 447 kts, include transcontinental US and medium-haul international routes where fuel-efficient twin‑engine performance is valued. Maintenance status is consistent with new-delivery conditioning, with ownership held by a Salt Lake City trustee suggesting deployment under a commercial operator or lessee rather than direct corporate flight operations.

The Airbus A220-300 (BD-500-1A11) occupies a performance niche for 120–160 seat single-aisle operations, competing with regional and small mainline types in efficiency and cabin comfort. Its Pratt & Whitney PW1521G geared turbofan engines deliver the thrust and fuel burn profile sought by carriers replacing older regional jets. Buyer and charter demand for recent-build A220-300s is driven by their range and lower operating costs on medium-haul sectors; resale and maintenance considerations favor younger serials such as 55300 due to remaining life‑cycle components and warranty coverage from manufacturer support.
