Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N552UW, is an Airbus A321-231 delivered in 2011 with manufacturer serial number 4957. The aircraft is listed in corporate trust ownership under UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE (a corporation based in Salt Lake City, UT, US), and the current record indicates the trustee as the owner. Operator and home base details are not published; no other ownership transfers or notable registry actions are recorded in the supplied data. Valuation and condition summaries for this specific airframe place it at an estimated market value of $38,000,000, reflecting its configuration and age.

Detailed cabin layout and seating count for this individual A321-231 are not published in the provided data; typical A321 family interiors vary by operator between dense single-class and two-class corporate or charter configurations. Avionics fit for this specific serial is not provided; standard linefit and retrofit options exist for the A321-231 and would determine operational equipment. With a range of 3,200 nm and a cruise speed of 450 kts, mission profiles for this airframe are suited to short- to medium-haul trunk routes or high-capacity charter operations; maintenance considerations will follow standard Airbus A321-231 schedules and trust/lessor-driven maintenance oversight under the listed corporate trustee ownership.

The Airbus A321-231 sits within the A320 family niche as a single-aisle, medium-range, high-capacity airliner variant, offering operators a balance of range and payload for short- to medium-haul sectors. Competing models include stretched single-aisles from the same era and modern re-engined types; buyers and charter customers typically value the A321 for capacity and commonality with A320 family fleets. For this 2011 airframe with serial 4957, resale and maintenance considerations will be influenced by its trust-based ownership, configuration unknowns, and the prevailing market for mid-life A321s at an indicated valuation of $38,000,000.
