N195AV

This airframe, registered as N195AV, is an Airbus-built A320-214 completed in 2012 with manufacturer serial number 5195. The airframe is owned by Avianca, a Colombian corporation, and is operated in the context of that airline’s fleet despite its US registration. The aircraft exhibits the standard mid-life characteristics of a 2012 A320-family jet, including typical operator repaint and fleet maintenance traceability. Notable registry action includes operation under a United States registration while under the ownership umbrella of a Colombia-based carrier.

The cabin for this specific A320 is configured in a two-class layout with approximately 12 business class seats and 168 economy seats, yielding an operator-fit total near 180 passengers; this layout supports short- to medium-haul trunk and regional missions typical of dense market operations. The flight deck is an Airbus A320 standard fit augmented with an airline flight management system (FMS) installation consistent with Honeywell/standard A320 cockpit fits, supporting RNAV and conventional navigation profiles used across the operator’s network. With a cruise speed of 447 knots and a 3,300 nm range, the airframe is suitable for high-frequency intra-regional services and select longer thin trunk sectors. Maintenance considerations align with common A320 fleet practices for the CFM56-5B powerplant, including shop visits and life-limited parts tracking consistent with an airframe of its build year.

The Airbus A320-214 occupies the single-aisle, short- to medium-range category and is positioned to meet market demand for high-density, short-haul routes with efficient per-seat economics. It competes directly with contemporaneous narrowbodies in its class and benefits from commonality within A320 fleets, which supports operator interchangeability and aftermarket support. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2012-series A320 include continued demand from carriers seeking common-type advantages and the well-established CFM56-5B support chain, while registry and ownership patterns—such as a Colombia-based owner operating under a US registration—can affect leasing, transfer, and regulatory oversight processes.
