N686TA

This airframe is registered as N686TA, an Airbus-built narrow‑body delivered in 2012 with manufacturer serial number 5238. The type certificate is Airbus A320-214, and the airframe is reported in trust ownership by UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee located in Salt Lake City, UT, US. Operator and home-base details are Not published for this specific registration, and there are no publicly reported registry actions or transfers beyond the trustee ownership in the supplied data. Condition and market valuation specifics are Not published in the provided dataset.

The cabin on this A320-214 is listed in a dual configuration format: a two‑class layout described as C12Y168 (12 business, 168 economy) while operator reconfiguration to a high‑density layout of approximately 180 seats is indicated as possible. This suggests the airframe is suited for short‑ to medium‑haul trunk routes where 150–180 passenger seating is typical. Specific avionics fit and onboard amenities are Not published; maintenance considerations for this airframe would follow standard A320 family practices, including CFM56‑5B series engine maintenance cycles and airframe checks appropriate for a 2012-build aircraft in commercial service.

The Airbus A320‑214 occupies the single‑aisle short/medium‑range market niche, offering cruise speeds around 450 kts and transcontinental ranges up to 3,300 nm in typical dispatch. It competes directly with later A320ceo family members and narrow‑body offerings from competing manufacturers, with buyer and lease demand driven by seat density options (the provided 182/~180 seat figures) and engine commonality—here, the widely supported CFM56‑5B4. Resale and remarketing considerations center on airframe age (2012 build), seating configuration flexibility, and engine maintenance status under established CFM support programs.
