N966AD

This airframe, registered as N966AD, is an Airbus-built narrowbody of model Airbus A321-211, manufactured in 2003 with manufacturer serial number 1966. The airframe is recorded in U.S. civil registration and, according to registry entries, is owned by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE (a corporate trustee) located in Salt Lake City, UT, US. Ownership is held by a corporate trustee rather than a commercial airline operator, and no distinct operator or commercial base is listed in the available registry data. Registry entries also identify a high-density single‑class passenger configuration, indicating the airframe has been configured for maximum seating rather than premium layouts.

The aircraft is configured with a high-density single‑class passenger layout, listed in the registry as 199 seats, consistent with dense short- to medium-haul passenger operations. While specific operator, avionics fit, and maintenance status are not published in the supplied data, the configuration implies use on high-capacity trunk or leisure routes where maximizing revenue seats is prioritized. Based from registry ownership in Salt Lake City, UT, the aircraft could be deployed by lessees or operated by charter/airline customers consistent with its seating and range, though no operator or routing records are provided in the dataset.

As a member of the Airbus A321 family, the Airbus A321-211 is positioned in the single-aisle, medium-range category with capabilities suitable for high-density point-to-point or short transcontinental flights given the listed 3,214 nm range and 447 kts cruise. The aircraft’s two CFM56 engines and 199-seat layout reflect a focus on high-capacity utilization, which informs typical maintenance cycles and interior refurbishment considerations for operators seeking to balance seat density against passenger comfort. The trustee ownership structure suggests this particular airframe may be part of a leasing or asset-holding arrangement rather than airline-operated equipment in active scheduled service.
