Model & Market Context
This entry documents the individual airframe bearing tail number N438AN, a member of the Airbus A321neo family built in 2021 with manufacturer serial number 10641. The airframe is recorded as owned by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee located in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and is registered in the US. No specific operator or home base is published for this registration; the ownership record indicates the aircraft is held in trust by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE. There are no public valuation figures or detailed condition reports attached to the available registry data.
The cabin of N438AN is outfitted in a two-class layout with 20 business / 176 economy (196 total) seats, aligning with typical single-aisle high-density configurations used for medium- to long-range trunk routes. Avionics fit and operator-specific equipment are not published for this individual airframe; however, the seating and range profile indicate suitability for transcontinental and transoceanic sector operations within the aircraft’s published range. Maintenance responsibility and scheduling would typically be dictated by the trustee owner and any subsequently named operator or lessor; such operational assignments are not present in the public record for this registration.
As an Airbus A321-253NX, this airframe belongs to the A321neo family which targets the single-aisle market niche requiring extended range and higher seat counts compared with previous-generation A320ceo models. With two CFM LEAP-1A33 engines producing 32,160 lbf each and a range of 4,000 nm, the type competes directly with narrowbody stretched models such as the Boeing 737 MAX 9/10 for airlines and lessors seeking high-capacity, longer-range single-aisle capability. Market considerations for this aircraft would center on demand for high-density single-aisle assets, LEAP engine maintenance cycles, and trustee/lessor-driven resale or lease placement strategies.
