N898UA

This airframe, registered as N898UA, is an Airbus A319-132 built in 2007 with manufacturer serial number 3311. The aircraft is owned by the corporate trustee UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE, based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and is registered in the US. Its custody by a financial trustee suggests a financial or leasing role rather than direct airline ownership; ownership by a trustee indicates it may have been managed as part of a lease or security arrangement. Public records of specific operator changeovers or recent valuations are not published.

This A319 carries a United two-class narrowbody layout configured for a typical 128-seat arrangement (First + Economy Plus + Economy), indicating interior provisions for premium and standard economy passengers. With a cruise speed of 447 kts and a ceiling of 41,000 ft, its mission profile is oriented toward short- to medium-haul trunk routes, including transcontinental sectors within the United States and high-utilization shuttle services. Avionics and specific fit details are not published for this airframe; operational maintenance considerations will center on the twin IAE V2524-A5 engines and standard A319 airframe checks under typical narrowbody heavy-utilization cycles.

The Airbus A319-132 occupies a narrowbody, short-to-medium-range segment where flexibility for 100–130-seat configurations is required; with a 3,700 nm range and 128 seats this airframe sits at the higher-capacity end of the sub-130 market. Competing types in this niche include the Boeing 737-700 and reconfigured regional jets; demand historically favors platforms with commonality in airline fleets. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe will reflect its 2007 manufacture date, the service history of the IAE V2524-A5 engines, and its status as an asset held by UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE, which can influence remarketing or lease-return processes.
