N705UW

The airframe bearing tail number N705UW is an Airbus A319-112 built in 1998 with manufacturer serial number 929. The airframe is recorded as owned by the corporation BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, located in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and is registered in the US. Operator and home base information are Not published, though registry entries reflect the trustee ownership and U.S. registration actions. Condition and valuation specifics are Not published, but the aircraft’s age and configuration place it within the late-1990s A319 cohort commonly subject to mid-life heavy checks and potential reconfiguration for high-density or short-haul charter use.

This specific A319-112 is configured to accommodate 179 seats, indicating a high-density single-class layout typical of short- to medium-haul mainline or charter operations rather than premium two-class services. Cabin equipment and specific avionics fit for this airframe are Not published; however, A319s of this vintage frequently retain baseline Airbus flight decks with optional retrofits for enhanced navigation and communications. Typical mission profiles for an aircraft with a 3,672 nm range and 410 kt cruise speed include transcontinental and regional trunk routes; ceiling capability to 39,000 ft allows efficient cruise altitudes for fuel-optimal operations. Maintenance considerations for this airframe would center on standard A319 life-limited parts, CFM56-5B engine shop visits, and airframe checks aligned with its 1998 build year.

The Airbus A319-112 occupies the lower-capacity end of the A320 family, offering competitive economics on medium-density routes and flexibility for high-frequency short-haul sectors. Competitors in its niche include smaller narrowbodies and older generation variants of the Boeing 737 family; buyer and charter demand often hinges on seating configuration and engine selection such as the CFM56-5B6/P powerplants. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 1998-built A319 focus on remaining structural and engine life, retrofit costs for modern avionics or cabin refurbishments, and the market appetite for high-density 179-seat layouts.
