Airframe story
N581UW is a 2014-built Airbus A321-231, serial 6152, which was test-registered as D-AVXO before being delivered to US Airways on 28 June 2014. Bank of Utah does not appear in this airframe's history; instead the registry shows US Airways Inc holding the tail from 2014, with American Airlines Inc taking over the registration from 2015. That transition lines up with the broader merger timeline, as American merged with US Airways in October 2015. A separate airframe, MSN 6035/N578UW, is the one that still carries US Airways livery as a heritage aircraft, so that distinction does not belong to N581UW. Stabilator's data shows this jet remains a heavy flyer within the current American A321 fleet, with recent stays logged at Charlotte and Dallas-Fort Worth, though nothing in the record confirms its present whereabouts beyond those routine turnarounds.
