N435GX

The airframe bearing tail number N435GX is an Airbus-built A321-231(P2F) manufactured in 2002 with constructor serial number 1763. The aircraft is recorded as owned by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE (a corporation) in U.S. registration records. A main-deck passenger-to-freighter conversion was reported in November 2023, indicating a role change from passenger transport to palletized cargo operations on the primary deck. Operator and home-base details are not published in the supplied data, and valuation or condition summaries are not published beyond the conversion status.

The airframe’s cabin has undergone a documented passenger-to-freighter (P2F) modification to a main-deck pallet/cargo configuration, completed or reported in November 2023, enabling loose or palletized cargo carriage on the primary deck. Avionics fit and specific equipment lists for this individual A321-231(P2F) are not published in the provided data; typical P2F conversions of this type focus on reinforced floor sections, a large forward cargo door, and cargo-handling systems to support main-deck pallets. Typical mission profiles for this configuration include short- to medium-haul trunk cargo services within the aircraft’s range capability, utilizing the U.S. registry for commercial freight operations. Maintenance considerations specific to this airframe would center on post-conversion structural inspections and cargo-system certification continuance, while specific line maintenance bases or unique amenities are not published.

The Airbus A321-231(P2F) conversion places this airframe within the narrow-body freighter niche that balances payload and range for short- to medium-haul cargo routes, leveraging the A321’s commonality with passenger fleet types. Competing models in the same market include converted A320-family freighters and 737-800BCF-type freighters, with buyer demand driven by e-commerce and regional express freight growth. For this specific airframe, age (built 2002) and documented P2F conversion are key resale and maintenance considerations, as lifecycle remaining is influenced by prior utilization, condition after conversion, and continuing airworthiness records.
