N636WT

This entry covers airframe N636WT, an Airbus-built single-aisle originally delivered in 2002 with manufacturer serial 1636. The airframe is recorded as owned by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and carries a United States registration. Notable actions for this airframe include the passenger-to-freighter modification, with the passenger cabin removed and the type converted in December 2023 to a Pratt & Whitney-style passenger-to-cargo (PCF) freighter configuration. The airframe’s assessed market value is $17,800,000, reflecting its converted freighter condition and remaining structural/service life.

The cabin on N636WT has been stripped of passenger fittings and configured as a freighter following the PCF conversion in December 2023, eliminating the original passenger seating layout and enabling main-deck cargo operations. Avionics fit and specific cargo handling equipment are not published in the supplied data, but the conversion implies installation of a reinforced main deck and freight loading systems consistent with a passenger-to-cargo modification. Typical mission profiles for this airframe, given its 3,200 nm range and 450 kts cruise, would include medium-haul cargo sectors operated from its owner’s base of record in Salt Lake City. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft will focus on freighter-cycle stresses and structural modifications associated with the PCF conversion, and the corporate trustee ownership indicates asset management rather than direct airline operation.

The airframe is an Airbus A321-231 (converted to A321-200 PCF freighter), representing a single-aisle, medium-range platform adapted to main-deck cargo service. With twin IAE V2533-A5 engines each producing 31,600 lbf of thrust, the type balances payload capability and cruise efficiency for regional to transcontinental freight sectors within its 3,200 nm range envelope. Buyer interest and resale considerations for this airframe center on its converted freighter status, the remaining economic life since a 2002 build, and the documented valuation of $17,800,000, all of which influence asset deployment, leaseback potential, and maintenance planning.
