The legal owner on the U.S. registry is listed as Wilmington Trust Company Trustee, a corporate trustee based in Wilmington, DE, US. The airframe has been recorded in two notable operator/registry contexts: the U.S. civil register listing 153 seats and an operator configuration as a 140-seat all-economy layout when with EgyptAir. Public valuation or specific condition reports are not published for this individual airframe.

Operations & Cabin

The airframe’s cabin has been documented in two configurations: a U.S. registry entry listing 153 seats and an operator configuration as a 140-seat all-economy layout while with EgyptAir, indicating flexibility for denser single-class layouts or higher-density operator fits. Avionics are fitted with the Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion suite, supporting modern flight-deck capabilities and commonality where fleets use Collins avionics. With a range of 3,400 nm and a cruise speed of 447 kts, this airframe is typically employed on short- to medium-range scheduled passenger missions and point-to-point services consistent with its seating density and mission capabilities. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on its twin Pratt & Whitney PW1524G geared turbofan engines and standard airframe support consistent with the A220 platform.

Model & Market Context

As an Airbus A220-300 (BD-500-1A11), this airframe belongs to a family positioned for high-efficiency operations in the lower end of the single-aisle market, offering a combination of range, cruise speed, and payload suitable for dense short- to medium-haul routes. The installation of the PW1524G engines and Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion avionics on this serial number supports competitive operating economics and resale appeal to operators seeking modern propulsion and flight-deck systems. Buyer and charter demand for configured A220-300 airframes often emphasizes cabin density, range capability, and engine/avionics commonality; those factors are directly reflected in this aircraft’s documented seating options and systems.
