N966AS

This airframe, registered as N966AS, is an Airbus-built Airbus A321-200 (P2F) originating from the year 2000, manufacturer Airbus, with manufacturer serial number 1241. Ownership is held by UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and the aircraft carries a United States registration. The airframe has been completed as a passenger-to-freighter conversion and is noted for its trustee corporate ownership structure rather than an airline operating lease; specific operator and home base details are not published. Registry entries and trustee ownership reflect a financial/asset-management posture rather than direct commercial operation.

This airframe is a converted freighter (P2F) featuring a main-deck cargo system and no passenger cabin, so it operates with a cargo configuration rather than a passenger layout. Typical mission profiles for this configuration focus on medium- to long-range cargo routes within the aircraft’s 2,650 nm range profile, exploiting a cruise speed of about 440 kts and a service ceiling near 39,000 ft. Avionics fit and operator-specific equipment are not published for this specific registration; maintenance considerations emphasize freighter structural modifications and cargo system upkeep associated with P2F conversions, and engine maintenance for the twin CFM56-5B3/P powerplants. The trustee ownership indicates asset-management practices may govern heavy maintenance scheduling and records custody.

The Airbus A321-200 (P2F) airframe occupied here represents a narrowbody freighter solution converted from a passenger A321-200, offering operators a combination of range and payload flexibility consistent with medium-haul cargo missions. With twin CFM56-5B3/P engines producing 33,000 lbf each, the platform balances fuel efficiency and payload performance for its class. Market considerations for this specific airframe include the implications of a P2F conversion on residual value and maintenance cycles, and the trustee ownership structure can affect transferability and remarketing timelines when compared to owner-operator fleets.
