N872UA

This airframe, registered as N872UA, is an Airbus-built narrow-body finished as an Airbus A319-132 that rolled off the production line in 2003 with manufacturer serial number 1986. The documented titleholder is UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee located in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and the aircraft carries a United States registration (US). As a fixed-wing multi engine transport, this airframe is typically held in trust rather than operated directly by the trustee; ownership is therefore distinct from day-to-day operator control and may reflect leasing or collateral arrangements. No public record of other registration actions or valuation adjustments is provided here.

The reported operator cabin configuration for this specific airframe is C12Y114 (reported operator configuration), indicating a mixed-class layout with 12 premium-class seats and 114 economy-class seats in the operator’s fit; this layout suggests the airframe was configured for short- to medium-haul commercial or charter operations. Avionics fit and maintenance status are not published here, but the twin IAE V2524-A5 engines and a certified service ceiling of 39,000 ft align with typical airline operational profiles for regional and transcontinental sectors up to the aircraft’s listed range of 1,800 nm. As the documented owner is a trust, the aircraft may be subject to leaseback arrangements, trustee-held maintenance escrows, or other commercial arrangements specific to trustee-owned airframes.

The Airbus A319-132 occupies a performance niche in the single-aisle A320 family, offering shorter-range, lower-capacity service compared with larger A320-series variants. With a cruise speed of 450 kts and seating for 179 in the reported fit, it competes with smaller narrow-body types on regional and thin-mainline routes. Buyer and charter demand for this model is often driven by fleet commonality, range requirements, and residual airframe condition; trustee ownership can affect resale timelines and maintenance transparency. Maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe will hinge on engine cycles and the verifiable maintenance record held under the trustee’s ownership.
