N874UA

This airframe, registered as N874UA, is an Airbus A319-132 built by Airbus in 2008 with manufacturer serial number 2008. The legal owner is the corporate trustee UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE, located in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and the aircraft is maintained in a United Airlines two-class seating fit consistent with a leased or trustee-owned asset. Held in trust by UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE, the airframe’s status reflects a common finance-and-lease arrangement where the trustee retains title while the operator controls day-to-day operations. Public valuation or recent registry transfers are not published in the supplied data; condition highlights are limited to the original-build configuration and installed equipment.

The aircraft is fitted in a United two-class approximately 126-seat layout, typically distributed as roughly 12 Business, 36 Economy Plus, and 78 Economy seats, supporting short- to medium-haul domestic and transcontinental missions. The flight deck is the standard Airbus A320-family EFIS avionics fit used on A319/A320 types, which simplifies pilot training and fleet commonality with A320-family operators. With its installed IAE V2524-A5 powerplants and a 3,700 nm range, the airframe is optimized for high-frequency passenger turns and regional hub feeding rather than long-haul sectors. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft generally follow A319/A320-class programs, influenced by its year of manufacture (2008) and trustee-held ownership structure that can affect scheduling of heavy checks under lease or trust arrangements.

The Airbus A319-132 occupies the narrowbody short- to medium-range segment of the A320 family, offering lower seat counts and similar systems architecture to larger A320 variants, which benefits operators through common pilot type ratings and spares pools. Competing models in this niche include smaller variants of the Boeing 737 family and regional narrowbodies configured for higher comfort or premium seating mixes. Buyer and charter demand for A319s often hinges on seat configuration and remaining structural/engine life; for this airframe the 2008 build year and the twin IAE V2524-A5 engines are key inputs to maintenance planning and residual value assessments. Resale and lease considerations typically emphasize cabin layout (the United two-class fit here), systems commonality with A320-family fleets, and the trustee ownership status that can simplify title transfers or complicate lease termination negotiations.
