N557AV

The airframe bearing registration N557AV is an Airbus A319-115 built in 2012 with manufacturer serial number 5057. The certificate of registration lists the owner as held in trust by UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE (a corporation/trustee based in Salt Lake City, UT, US), and the aircraft carries a US registration. No public operator is listed for this specific airframe; the trustee ownership suggests financial or lease-related custody rather than direct airline operation. The airframe is valued at approximately $16,000,000, reflecting its mid-life status for a 2012-built single-aisle jet and common-market demand for A319-series aircraft.

This airframe is configured in a two-class airline layout accommodating approximately ~12 business / ~108 economy passengers (total 120 seats), consistent with short- to medium-haul commercial use. Typical mission profiles for this configuration include transcontinental or regional international flights within a 3,750 nm range, operating from US bases and hubs while constrained by trustee ownership arrangements. The propulsion is provided by twin CFM56-5B7 turbofans, a widely supported engine family that factors into predictable maintenance cycles and parts availability. Specific avionics fit and in-service operator equipment lists are not published for this registration; maintenance considerations follow standard A319 practices and the CFM56-5B maintenance ecosystem.

The Airbus A319-115 belongs to the A320 family niche serving operators seeking a shorter, lower-capacity narrowbody with transcontinental capability; it competes with variants such as the Boeing 737-700 in similar missions. At a 2012 build year, this airframe sits in a secondary market where demand is influenced by fuel efficiency, interior configuration, and engine support; the common CFM56-5B7 engines and a two-class 120-seat fit enhance its appeal for replacement leases or short-to-medium range scheduled services. Resale and leasing prospects are moderated by fleet commonality preferences and the aircraft’s mid-life maintenance requirements.
