RESEARCH NOTES
About N1438
Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.
Overview
The airframe bearing registration N1438 is an Airbus A321-231 (PCF) built in 2001 with manufacturer serial number 1438. It is owned by Bank Of Utah Trustee, a corporate trustee based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and appears on the US registry under that corporate ownership. Converted May 2023 to a P2F freighter with main deck cargo configuration from its original passenger certification listing 379 seats. Notable registry and status entries reflect its transition from a passenger-configured A321-231 to a freighter asset operated/managed under trustee ownership for commercial cargo deployment.
Operations & Cabin
This airframe is configured as a P2F freighter with a main deck cargo arrangement following its May 2023 conversion; its original certification listed 379 passenger seats prior to modification. Typical mission profiles for this configuration emphasize medium-haul cargo operations within the aircraft’s 3,200 nm range and cruise at approximately 450 kts, operating up to service ceilings around 39,000 ft. As a corporate-owned asset by Bank Of Utah Trustee in Salt Lake City, operational basing and dispatch are likely aligned with US domestic and regional freight networks; maintenance considerations focus on freighter conversion inspections and continued airworthiness of the IAE V2533-A5 powerplants. Cabin and cargo system specifics beyond the main-deck layout are not published in the supplied data.
Model & Market Context
The Airbus A321-231 (PCF) occupies a niche as a narrow-body, single-aisle freighter conversion based on a widely used passenger variant, offering a balance of payload and range for short- to medium-haul cargo routes. Competing types in the same market include converted Boeing 737 freighters and other A320-family P2F conversions; demand generally centers on integrators, lessors, and parcel carriers seeking cost-effective capacity. Maintenance and resale considerations include the age of this airframe (built 2001), lifecycle status of the IAE V2533-A5 engines, and the market acceptance of the specific P2F conversion used in its May 2023 modification.
