N238NV

This article describes the individual airframe registered as N238NV, an Airbus A320-214 constructed in 2003 with manufacturer's serial number 2133. The airframe is recorded in corporate ownership under UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE (a corporation based in Salt Lake City, UT, US), which is noted as the current owner on the US registry. The aircraft carries US registration and is configured and maintained as a single-class high-density airliner; notable registry actions are limited to the documented corporate trust ownership and standard US civil registration. Condition and valuation notes specific to this airframe are not published beyond its high-density configuration and typical A320 market positioning.

The airframe is fitted with a 182-seat single-class high-density coach cabin, optimized for maximum passenger throughput rather than premium accommodations, which drives its typical mission profile toward short- to medium-haul, high-frequency scheduled or charter operations. Avionics and systems conform to the A320-214 baseline and common airline fit practices for this variant, supporting typical cruise and flight levels up to 41,000 ft. Based on ownership by a corporate trustee rather than an airline, the aircraft may be operated by a third-party carrier under lease or ACMI arrangements and is likely maintained to standard operator-approved maintenance programs for the CFM56-5B-powered A320 family. There are no published unique amenities or special interior modifications for this specific airframe.

The A320-214 is a member of the Airbus A320 family, positioned as a narrow-body, single-aisle airliner serving the short- to medium-range market with reliable fuel efficiency and common-type pilot and maintenance advantages. With a range of 3,350 nm, a cruise speed near 447 kts, and seating capacity up to 182 in high-density layouts, it competes with models such as the Boeing 737 Next Generation series in airline and charter markets. Market considerations for this airframe include engine maintenance cycles for the CFM56-5B series and the resale demand for high-density-configured A320s, which remain attractive for operators needing high-capacity short-haul equipment.
