N337DN

This entry covers airframe N337DN, an Airbus-built narrowbody delivered in 2018 with manufacturer's serial number 8080. The airframe is an Airbus A321-213(WL) manufactured by Airbus SAS and is US-registered under trustee ownership by UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE (a corporation based in Salt Lake City, UT, US). The aircraft operates in an operator configuration reflecting Delta's A321 layout and has seen standard leasing/financial stewardship consistent with trustee-held assets; ownership has remained with the trustee entity while the operator retains operational control under typical lease arrangements. Registry details confirm US registration and typical commercial service entry following manufacture.

The aircraft is configured in a Delta A321 typical layout, listed as 191 seats in operator configuration (approximately 20 Business / 29 Economy Comfort / 142 Economy) while the type certification supports a maximum 199-seat layout; this dual reporting reflects operator-specific cabin densification versus regulatory maximums. Avionics and systems conform to the A321-200/WL standard fit for short- to medium-haul fleet operations, with mission profiles typically including domestic trunk routes and higher-density regional services. Based in the United States under trustee ownership, maintenance considerations follow standard A321 airworthiness programs and operator heavy maintenance rotations; unique financial stewardship by UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE may affect lease transfer or remarketing timelines.

The Airbus A321-213(WL) occupies the single-aisle, higher-capacity segment of the A320 family, offering extended range with winglets for up to 2,650 nm and higher seat counts up to 199, targeting dense short- to medium-haul point-to-point markets. Competing types in this niche include stretched narrowbodies from other manufacturers and later A321neo variants; fleet demand remains strong for proven CFM56-powered A321-200s in markets prioritizing acquisition cost and fleet commonality. Resale and maintenance considerations center on engine lifecycle for the CFM56-5B3 series, structural checks for higher-utilization operators, and the asset’s trustee-held status influencing remarketing channels.
