N346DN

The airframe, registered as N346DN, is an Airbus-built narrowbody delivered in 2018 with manufacturer serial number 8227. This specific airframe is recorded as owned by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a corporation based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and is registered in the US; no public operator or home base is published for this registration. The type certificate and build pedigree place it within Airbus production lines as an Airbus A321-211 configured to standard maximum single-class seating for the type. The aircraft carries a reported valuation of $46,550,000, reflecting market estimates for a late-2010s A321 with contemporary engine and systems fit; official condition reports are not published for this specific tail.

The cabin configuration of this airframe is listed with 199 seats, consistent with high-density single-class A321 layouts used for short- to medium-haul scheduled or charter operations. Specific interior finish, galley and lavatory fit, and any VIP or combi modifications are not published for this registration. With a cruise speed near 440 kts and a range of 3,200 nm, the aircraft is suitable for transcontinental U.S. missions and regional international sectors across North America and adjacent markets. Avionics and outfitting are per the A321-211 baseline unless supplemental records indicate modifications; routine maintenance considerations follow Airbus A320 family logistics and line maintenance cycles. The recorded owner, BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, suggests a financial or leasing interest rather than an operating carrier; ownership has been recorded in corporate trustee hands.

The Airbus A321-211 sits in the A320 family as a stretched, higher-capacity narrowbody emphasizing seat-mile efficiency and short- to medium-range flexibility. Its CFM56-5B3/3 engines with roughly 32,000 lbf thrust apiece are common on earlier A321s and support established MRO supply chains, though newer re-engined variants command different market premiums. With a valuation of roughly $46.55M for this 2018 airframe and a maximum seat count of 199, demand profiles typically come from low-cost carriers, ACMI/charter operators, and lessors seeking high-utilization assets. Resale and maintenance planning should account for remaining airframe life, engine shop visit cycles, and the competitive pressure from re-engined and newer-generation narrowbodies.
