The aircraft is recorded as being owned by UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE (a corporation) located in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and is registered in the US.

Notable registry actions: Not published.

The cabin of this specific A320neo is configured in a high-density single-class arrangement with approximately 190 all-economy seats consistent with a Spirit-style layout, optimized for short- to medium-haul, high-capacity operations. Avionics fit is the standard Airbus A320 family flight deck incorporating FMGS and ECAM systems, supporting typical airline operational procedures and modern flight management capabilities. Typical mission profiles for this airframe would emphasize dense domestic and international regional routes within a maximum range of 3,400 nm at a cruise speed near 447 kts, operating up to a service ceiling of 39,800 ft. As a 2022-build airframe, maintenance considerations follow manufacturer-recommended line and base checks for A320neo aircraft with geared turbofan engines; specific maintenance status and operator-base details are not published in the available record.

The Airbus A320-271N (A320neo) exemplifies the A320neo family’s focus on improved fuel efficiency and reduced operating costs relative to prior A320ceo variants, driven in this case by two PW1127G-JM geared turbofan engines. In the market, this configuration targets high-demand single-aisle routes competing with short- to medium-range variants of the Boeing 737-8 and similar narrowbodies; high-density 190-seat layouts aim at carriers or lessors pursuing maximum revenue seats. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2022 neo airframe typically remain favorable due to engine commonality and strong aftermarket demand, while trustee-held ownership structures can affect leasing and remarketing timelines.
