N231NV

The airframe bearing tail number N231NV is an Airbus A320-214 built in 2000, serial number 1171. It is owned and operated by Allegiant Air, a corporation based in the United States, and is registered in the US. The history of this specific airframe is characterized by standard civil registry practice for short- to medium-haul narrowbody transports, with ownership and operational management remaining under the same corporate operator. Condition and valuation highlights are limited to factory build year, serial identification, and current operator, with routine fleet-level maintenance and economics implied by its continued service.

This airframe is fitted in a high-density single-class configuration consistent with an Allegiant layout, accommodating 177 economy seats in a single-class cabin. The twin CFM56-5B4/P engines, each rated at 26,500 lbf, support a cruise speed of approximately 447 knots and a maximum certified ceiling of 39,000 feet, enabling typical short- to transcontinental sectors within a 3,300 nautical mile mission capability. Operated under a United States registration, the aircraft’s configuration and seating density reflect an airline-focused, point-to-point leisure and low-cost carrier model; maintenance considerations for this specific airframe align with fleet standard practices for the Airbus A320 family powered by the CFM56-5B series.

As an airframe of the Airbus A320 family, the Airbus A320-214 serves the fixed-wing multi-engine narrowbody niche for short- to medium-range operations and high-density single-class deployments. With a range of 3,300 nm and a 447 kt cruise, it competes in the market segment occupied by similar narrowbodies optimized for high-utilization, single-class service. Buyer and charter demand for late-1990s to early-2000s A320-200 series aircraft typically reflects considerations of remaining airframe life, engine maintenance status for CFM56-5B4/P units, and fleet commonality benefits for operators such as Allegiant Air.
