N883UA

This airframe, registered as N883UA, is an Airbus A319-132 built in 2005 with manufacturer serial number 2574. The aircraft is owned by United Airlines Inc, a corporation based in Chicago, IL, US, and operates in United’s fleet under US registration. As a single-operator airframe in active mainline service, its condition and utilization are aligned with typical airline maintenance and cycling practices for mid-2000s narrowbodies; the airframe’s age and cumulative flight hours would be primary determinants of its current valuation and condition profile.

The aircraft is fitted in a United 122-seat layout (approx. 8 Business / 42 Economy Plus / 72 Economy), providing a two-class cabin tailored to dense short- and medium-haul operations. With a certified ceiling of 41,000 ft and a cruise speed of 514 kts, this A319 is typically employed on domestic and near-international routes where point-to-point frequency and seat density are prioritized. The twin IAE V2524-A5 engines deliver moderate thrust suitable for rapid turnarounds and high-frequency utilization; engine shop visits and airframe checks follow standard United Airlines fleet maintenance programs. As a 2005-build airframe, longevity considerations focus on structural fatigue, life-limited components, and avionics/fitment common to A319 mainline service.

The Airbus A319-132 occupies the short- to medium-range single-aisle niche, offering a balance of capacity and runway performance for trunk and thin routes. With a range of 3,672 nm and seating for 122, it competes with similar narrowbodies in airline fleets seeking flexible frequency deployment rather than maximum seat-mile efficiency. For buyers or lessors, the principal market considerations for a 2005 A319 include remaining structural life, engine cycles on IAE V2524-A5 modules, retrofitting or refresh of cabin interiors, and resale demand driven by regional network needs and secondary-market appetite for narrowbody conversions or continued passenger operation.
