N315MQ

This airframe, registered as N315MQ, is an Airbus A320-232 built in 2007 with manufacturer's serial number 3156. The airframe is owned by UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, which indicates a financial or leasing interest rather than an active airline operator. Operator and home base information are not published for this specific registration. Notable registry actions and valuation history for this airframe are not published; the aircraft’s condition and maintenance status are likewise not publicly disclosed in the supplied data.

The aircraft is configured with 200 passenger seats, consistent with a single-aisle A320 family layout optimized for short- to medium-haul operations. The flight deck is fitted with the standard Airbus A320 avionics suite, described here as Airbus A320 flight deck (standard A320 flightdeck avionics suite), supporting conventional airline operational profiles and typical air transport navigation and communication capabilities. Typical mission profiles for an A320-232 with the listed range of 3,300 nm and cruise speed of 447 kts would include domestic and transcontinental sectors, as well as regional international routes; however, specific route assignments or operator deployment for N315MQ are not published. Maintenance considerations for this airframe would follow A320-series schedules for the IAE V2527-A5 engines and airframe systems, but detailed records are not provided.

The Airbus A320-232, represented here by serial 3156, sits in the competitive single-aisle market segment focused on high-utilization short- to medium-range routes. Its twin IAE V2527-A5 engines with nominal thrust of 24,800 lbf each deliver performance suitable for dense short-haul networks and point-to-point services. Competing models in the market niche include other A320 family variants and narrowbody types from rival manufacturers offering similar capacity and range. Buyer and leasing demand typically emphasizes fleet commonality, engine support agreements, and residual value considerations; for this airframe, corporate trustee ownership by UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE suggests it may be subject to leasing arrangements or collateralized financing rather than direct airline operation.
