N876UA

This airframe, registered as N876UA, is an Airbus A319-132 delivered in 2004 with manufacturer serial number 2203. The airframe is recorded as owned by UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE (a corporation based in Salt Lake City, UT, US), reflecting its status in financial trust ownership rather than direct airline holding. Operated in a mainline United configuration as recorded, the airframe carries a high-density single-class layout; its US registration and trustee ownership suggest use in traditional airline service with financing structures common to legacy carriers. No public record of major registry changes beyond trustee ownership was provided in the supplied data.

The aircraft is registered with a high-density 179-seat single-class cabin reflecting a mainline United configuration as recorded, emphasizing short- to medium-haul high-capacity operations. The flight deck is fitted with the standard Airbus A320-family avionics suite, aligning crew training and commonality advantages across the A320 family. Typical mission profiles for this airframe type include domestic trunk routes and transcontinental sectors within the stated 3,700 nm range at cruise speeds around 450 kts, operating from airline bases under US registry. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe are those typical of a trustee-owned, line-operated A319 in high-utilization service — focused on airframe fatigue management and engine shop visit scheduling for the IAE V2524-A5 powerplants.

The Airbus A319-132 occupies the short- to medium-range narrowbody market niche within the A320 family, offering higher passenger density in this particular airframe at 179 seats versus typical lower-density layouts. Competitors in this capacity and range band include higher-density configurations of other A320-family variants and older narrowbodies adapted for single-class high-density use. For buyers and lessors, considerations centered on this serial’s age (built 2004), trustee ownership structure, and common A320 avionics complement influence maintenance provisioning, residual value expectations, and ease of crew/parts commonality across operator fleets.
