N102DU2018 Airbus A220-100

Overview

This airframe, registered as N102DU, is an Airbus A220-100 (BD-500-1A10) built in 2018 with manufacturer's serial number 50021. The aircraft is manufactured by Airbus Canada Limited Partnership and is recorded in the United States registry with corporate ownership under Bank of Utah Trustee, based in Salt Lake City, UT. The airframe’s corporate ownership and U.S. registration indicate it has been held in institutional custody rather than under a named airline operator; ownership by a trustee corporation suggests the airframe may have been part of a financial lease or collateral arrangement.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin of this A220-100 is configured for 109 total passengers with a breakdown of 12 Business / 15 Economy Comfort / 82 Economy seats, offering a dual-class layout aimed at short- to medium-haul operations. Avionics are fitted with the Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion suite, supporting modern navigation, flight management and cockpit situational awareness typical for commercial regional operations. With a 3,600 nm range and a cruise speed near 470 kts, the airframe is suited to point-to-point regional and transcontinental missions within continental U.S. limits and adjacent markets. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft would follow Airbus Canada and Pratt & Whitney programme schedules, and trustee ownership may influence access to operator records and maintenance statuses.

Model & Market Context

The Airbus A220-100 occupies a performance niche as a modern, fuel-efficient small single-aisle type optimized for 100-130 seat missions; this specific build with PW1524G engines emphasizes fuel efficiency and lower noise. Competing models in the marketplace include stretched regional jets and smaller narrowbodies from other manufacturers, but the A220 family is noted for passenger comfort and operating economics. Buyer and charter demand for A220-100 airframes typically centers on regional carriers and leasing companies; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe will reflect its 2018 manufacture date, current avionics standardization, and the institutional ownership structure recorded.
