N405AN

This entry concerns airframe tail number N405AN, an Airbus-built narrowbody delivered in 2019 with manufacturer serial number 8800. The aircraft, an Airbus A321-253NX, is registered in the US and held in trust by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a corporate owner located in Salt Lake City, UT. The airframe’s public record emphasizes the trustee ownership rather than an operating airline, and no separate long-term operator is published; registry data indicate standard US registration actions consistent with entry into commercial or leasing service. Valuation and formal condition reports are not published for this specific airframe.

The cabin is configured as C20Y176 (reported: 20 First / 176 Economy), indicating a two-class layout optimized for high-density medium- to long-range passenger service. With a range of 4,000 nm and cruise speed near 473 kts, the airframe is suited to transcontinental and regional international routes where single-aisle efficiency is required. The LEAP-1A33 turbofan pair represents the current-generation re-engined neo commonality, with attendant maintenance programs focused on modular engine shop visits and life-limited part tracking. Specific avionics fit and line maintenance operator base are not published for this airframe; standard A321neo-type ground support and ETOPS-adjacent planning would apply depending on the operator’s mission profile.

The Airbus A321-253NX places this airframe within the A320neo family, a high-capacity, fuel-efficient single-aisle derivative targeting extended single-aisle routes. Competing types include stretched Boeing 737 MAX variants in the same capacity and range segment. The combination of 222 seats, LEAP engines, and 4,000 nm range supports strong demand from low-cost carriers and hybrid operators seeking dense two-class or high-density layouts. Resale and leasing considerations hinge on maintenance status, engine shop visit timing for the CFM LEAP-1A33, and the aircraft’s certificate and registration history under its trustee ownership.
