Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N905AU, is an Airbus A321-231 built in 2017 with manufacturer serial number 7700. Owned by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a trust based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, the aircraft is registered in the US and is tracked as a trust-held asset rather than a directly operator-owned airliner. The airframe’s valuation is recorded at $47,000,000, reflecting a late-model single-aisle configuration and relatively recent build year. Registry records emphasize trust ownership and U.S. registration as the principal administrative annotations for this specific airframe.
The cabin on N905AU is configured in a two-class layout with 20 Business / 170 Economy (190 total) seats, reflecting a mix of premium and high-density seating suitable for medium- to long-range single-aisle missions. With a maximum operational range of 3,200 nm and a cruise speed of 450 kts, the airframe is capable of transcontinental and near-international sectors typical of regional- to medium-haul scheduled or ad hoc charter operations. Avionics fit and specific interior finish levels are not published in the supplied data; maintenance and administrative oversight are exercised under the trust ownership structure centered in Salt Lake City, UT. Routine maintenance considerations follow standard Airbus A321-231 schedules and the IAE V2533-A5 engine type requirements for this serial.
The Airbus A321-231 occupies the single-aisle, high-capacity niche within Airbus’s A320 family, offering extended range and seating flexibility; N905AU exemplifies a late-build example from 2017. Competing airframes in the market include other stretched narrowbodies optimized for similar missions; demand for such late-model A321s remains strong among carriers and lessors seeking efficient medium- to long-range single-aisle capacity. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on its late build year, IAE V2533-A5 engine type, trust ownership structure, and a documented value of $47,000,000.
