N563AZ

This airframe, registered as N563AZ, is an Airbus A220-300 built in 2020 with manufacturer serial number 55077 by Airbus Canada LP. The aircraft is recorded as owned by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a trust based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and carries US registration. The airframe’s equipment and registry entries have included notable documentation differences between the originally reported cabin plan and the FAA record; the original operator was reported to have specified a 140‑seat single‑class layout while FAA registry entries list 153 seats. Conditioning and valuation details are not published beyond registry seat data and equipment fit.

The aircraft is fitted with a cabin that was reported originally as a 140‑seat single‑class (Y140) layout for its initial operator, while FAA registry data documents 153 seats, a discrepancy that can affect weight-and-balance and certification paperwork. Avionics are installed as Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion, supporting modern navigation, flight management and crew systems suitable for short‑to‑medium‑haul commercial operations. Typical mission profiles for this airframe align with regional and transcontinental trunk routes within a 3,400 nm performance envelope and cruise operations near 447 kts at service ceilings up to 41,000 ft. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would reflect the A220 family’s geared‑turbofan PW1524G engine support and lifecycle tracking tied to its 2020 manufacture date and trust ownership structure.

The Airbus A220-300 (BD-500-1A11) occupies a niche for 130–160 seat single‑aisle operations, offering competitive fuel efficiency and range relative to older regional and smaller narrowbody types. Competing models include re‑engined regional jets and smaller narrowbodies from other manufacturers; demand among airlines and lessors has focused on the A220’s operating economics and passenger comfort. For buyers and operators, resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe will reflect its 2020 vintage, the PW1524G engine maintenance program, documented avionics fit, and the registry seat configuration recorded by the FAA.
