N9016

This airframe, registered as N9016, is an Airbus A319-115 built in 2014 with manufacturer serial number 6040. The airframe is owned by UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE (a corporation based in Salt Lake City, UT, US) and carries a United States registration. The aircraft has been operated in a short- to medium-haul mainline passenger configuration consistent with fleet summaries for American Airlines, and its recorded ownership reflects use within a trust/financing structure rather than direct airline ownership. Specific historical registry actions and public valuation or condition reports are not published.

The cabin is configured in a typical American Airlines short/medium-haul mainline layout with 8 Business (First) and 120 Economy seats, totaling 128 seats, supporting dense single-aisle mainline operations. With a cruise speed of 447 kts and a design range of 3,750 nm, missions for this specific A319 commonly span domestic U.S. and transcontinental short- to medium-haul sectors within an airline network. The twin CFM56-5B7 engines, each rated at 27,000 lbf, align with widely supported maintenance, parts pools, and MRO practices for this family. Maintenance and operational considerations typically follow Airbus A320-family schedules and operator-specific heavy check intervals; ownership by a trust suggests aircraft leasing and remarketing activity are likely components of its operational lifecycle.

The Airbus A319-115 sits in the smaller end of the A320 family, offering mainline single-aisle performance for operators prioritizing flexibility on short and thin routes while retaining commonality with larger A320 variants. Competing models include stretched or shortened variants of the A320 family and similarly sized offerings from the Boeing 737 Next Generation line. Market demand for this configuration tends toward carriers and lessors seeking mainline cabin standards with moderate range and efficient per-seat economics; resale and maintenance considerations are influenced by engine type (CFM56-5B7), seating density (128 seats), and the airframe’s 2014 manufacture date.
