N908AA

This airframe, registered as N908AA, is an Airbus A321-231 built in 2017 with manufacturer serial number 7775. The aircraft is recorded as being owned by the corporation BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE located in Salt Lake City, UT, a trustee ownership typically associated with leasing or secured financing arrangements. The registration is listed as US, and the airframe is categorized as a fixed-wing multi-engine aircraft. No additional operator changes or notable registry actions are published beyond the trustee ownership record.

The aircraft carries an operator-reported cabin code of C20Y170, indicating a 20-first class and 170-economy seating split that reflects a high-density single-aisle mainline passenger configuration for short- to medium-haul operations. Typical mission profiles for this configuration include domestic and near-international trunk routes well within its 2,650 nm range and optimized for cruise at 447 kts and cruise altitudes up to 39,000 ft. Avionics and specific operator-modified equipment are not published for this serial, and maintenance considerations for this airframe follow the A321 family standards, with specific attention to the twin IAE V2533-A5 engines and fleet-common component support. The trustee ownership suggests the aircraft may be on lease, held as collateral, or between operators, although direct operator base details are not published.

The Airbus A321-231 belongs to the A320 family niche targeting single-aisle, medium-range routes with up to approximately 190 seats in dense layouts; this example’s C20Y170 layout places it at the upper end of typical capacity for mainline carriers. Competing models in this segment include extended-range single-aisle variants from both Airbus and Boeing, with buyer and charter demand driven by seat-mile economics and commonality with existing narrowbody fleets. Maintenance and resale considerations for this specific airframe hinge on age (built 2017), engine type (IAE V2533-A5), and its trustee ownership status, which can affect transferability and remarketing timelines.
