N654DL

The airframe bearing tail number N654DL is a Boeing-built narrow-body airliner delivered in 1990, manufacturer serial number 24394. It is a Boeing 757-232, registered in the US, and its recorded owner is the corporation BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE located in Salt Lake City, UT, US. The airframe has an operational history that includes an operator configuration change — it was previously listed as C26Y158 until Sep 2016 (operator configuration history noted) — and thereafter is recorded with a mainline Delta passenger layout of 178 seats. Registry entries identify its corporate trustee ownership and Salt Lake City as the associated owner location.

This specific Boeing 757-232 is configured in a mainline Delta passenger layout with 178 seats, reflecting its use in higher-density short- to medium-haul mainline passenger operations. The aircraft’s cabin history notes a prior configuration of C26Y158 until Sep 2016, indicating a change in seating mix or operator layout at that time; the current layout aligns with typical single-aisle mainline service. With a design cruise of 458 kts and a range of 3,900 nm, the typical mission profile for this airframe would include transcontinental routes and high-utilization mainline sectors operated from its owner’s base location in Salt Lake City. Maintenance considerations follow those of in-service 757 airframes equipped with PW2037 engines, with attention to engine fleet-support programs and airframe aging inspections consistent with aircraft built in 1990.

The Boeing 757 family occupies a performance niche as a medium-capacity, long-range single-aisle jetliner, offering higher payload-range capability than contemporaneous narrow-bodies. Competing models historically include stretched or higher-thrust variants of narrow-body twins and later single-aisle derivatives, with demand from buyers or charter operators favoring the 757 for transcontinental and thinner long-range routes. For this airframe—serial 24394 with PW2037 powerplants—resale and maintenance considerations center on engine program enrollment, airframe life-limited component status, and the marketability of a 178-seat mainline-configured 1990-build 757 in secondary markets.
