N231XC

This airframe, registered as N231XC, is an Airbus A320-211 built by Airbus S.A.S. in 1991 with manufacturer serial number 231. The airframe has been reported in corporate ownership by Mojave Jet LLC and is noted in photographic records as later being operated/hosted by Hangzhou Technician Institute, reflecting an atypical ownership and operational timeline. The aircraft carries a United States registration and has an estimated market value of $3,500,000, with condition and valuation driven by its age and complete narrow-body configuration. No additional registry actions beyond the reported ownership and photographic operation records are published in the supplied data.

The cabin is reported in a prior Air Canada configuration as comprising 14 business / 36 premium economy / 96 economy (146 total) seats, while the aircraft retains the typical single-aisle 3-3 layout for the A320 family. The flight deck is fitted with the standard Airbus A320 EFIS suite and is otherwise described as an Airbus A320 flight deck installation. Operationally, this airframe’s performance—short- to medium-range cruise and typical single-aisle ceiling—suits point-to-point regional and transcontinental missions within a 3,300 nm radius, consistent with charter, corporate, or secondary operator use. Photographic evidence of hosted operation by an educational or technical institute suggests periods of nonstandard utilization beyond conventional airline service.

As an Airbus A320-211 airframe, this aircraft sits within a highly successful narrow-body family designed for short- to medium-haul operations, offering commonality with other A320 variants in crew training and systems. Competing models in its mission niche include contemporary narrow-body types offering similar seat counts and ranges; resale and maintenance considerations for this 1991-build aircraft include engine type lifecycle (CFM56-5A1), avionics compatibility with A320 suites, and valuation pressures typical for early-generation A320s reflected in the $3,500,000 estimate.
