N871UA

This article concerns airframe N871UA, an Airbus airliner built in 2003 bearing manufacturer serial number 1971. The aircraft is an Airbus A319-132 and is recorded as owned by UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE (a corporation based in Salt Lake City, UT, US). The airframe carries a US registration and its corporate ownership is noted in public registry extracts; registered in the United States is the principal recorded registry action. Operator and home base details are not published in the supplied data, and valuation or condition reporting for this specific airframe is not published.

The cabin for this airframe is fitted in a high-density passenger configuration with 179 reported seats, indicating deployment in dense single-class service patterns. Avionics fit and specific interior appointments are not published for this airframe. Given the aircraft’s performance parameters—cruise speed 447 kts, range 3,672 nm, and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft—typical mission profiles would encompass short- to medium-haul trunk routes and high-capacity point-to-point operations within continental ranges; operator base is not published. Maintenance history and any specific continuing airworthiness directives or unique maintenance considerations for this serial are not published in the available data.

The airframe is a member of the Airbus A319 family, a single-aisle, fixed-wing multi-engine design positioned for single-aisle commercial routes where a combination of moderate range (3,672 nm) and higher-density seating (179) is required. In the market, the A319 competes with other narrowbody types that serve short- to medium-haul networks; operators trading on seat density and fleet commonality often value such airframes for replacement of lower-capacity types or for concentrated high-frequency services. Maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe will typically reflect its age (built 2003), engine type (IAE V2524-A5), and the specific ownership/operator usage history as recorded under the US registration.
