Overview

This airframe, tail number N108DQ, is an Airbus A220-100 (BD-500-1A10) built in 2019 with manufacturer serial number 50027. The airframe is registered in the US and is owned by Bank of Utah Trustee, a corporation based in Salt Lake City, UT. The aircraft’s history is primarily financial/lessor-oriented with ownership recorded to a trust; operator details and specific home base assignments are not published. Valuation and detailed condition reports are not published for this specific airframe in the supplied data.

Operations & Cabin

This airframe is outfitted in a Delta three-class interior consistent with typical Delta A220-100 layouts: 12 First Class, 15 Delta Comfort+ (with some seat maps listing 20), and 82 Main Cabin, totaling 109 seats. The flight deck is equipped with a Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion integrated avionics system featuring a five-panel layout, supporting modern navigation, flight management, and crew interface capabilities. With a mission range of 3,450 nm and a cruise speed around 447 kts, the aircraft is well suited to short- to medium-haul mainline operations, high-frequency regional routes, and point-to-point transcontinental sectors within North America. Maintenance considerations reflect the A220 program’s turbofan and integrated systems architecture; specific airframe maintenance status and records for N108DQ are not published.

Model & Market Context

The Airbus A220-100 (originally Bombardier CSeries BD-500-1A10) occupies a niche for efficient, single-aisle operations in the 100-130 seat market, delivering improved fuel burn and cabin comfort relative to older regional jets. Powered by geared turbofan Pratt & Whitney PW1524G engines, the type competes with smaller variants of the Airbus A320neo family and Embraer E2 series on economics and passenger experience. Demand from mainline carriers for A220s has been strong for route flexibility and lower per-seat costs; however, resale and lease markets reflect sensitivity to engine support contracts and program-wide spares pools. For this specific airframe, ownership by a financial trustee underscores typical lessor/financier placement strategies in fleet management and remarketing.
