N251NV

This article covers a specific airframe registered as N251NV, an airliner built in 2017 with manufacturer serial number 7838. The airframe is an Airbus A320-214, manufactured by Airbus, and is recorded in the U.S. registry (US) with ownership held by SUNRISE ASSET MANAGEMENT LLC, an LLC based in Las Vegas, NV, US. The airframe carries a market valuation of approximately $25,000,000 and is cataloged as a fixed-wing multi-engine transport with a high-density interior; its condition and valuation reflect a relatively recent build year and commercial configuration. Acquisition and registration by SUNRISE ASSET MANAGEMENT LLC represents the most recent notable ownership entry in the provided record.

The airframe is outfitted in a high-density single-class configuration described as a High-density 182-seat single-class (all-economy) layout, intended to maximize seat count for short- to medium-haul trunk routes. Flightdeck systems are the standard Airbus A320 family integrated flight deck (proprietary Airbus avionics), supporting the common type rating and fleet interoperability typical of A320 operators. With a cruise speed of 447 kts and a range of 3,300 nm, the airframe is suited to domestic and transcontinental missions within North America and similar sectors, operated under its U.S. registration. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on the CFM56-5B4/3 engine family commonality, hull and cabin outfitting for dense seating, and adherence to U.S. regulatory oversight tied to its registration and ownership.

The Airbus A320-214 is a member of the A320 family, positioned in the single-aisle short- to medium-range market niche with robust demand from low-cost and legacy carriers seeking high-capacity variants. Competitors include Boeing 737 series models and other narrowbodies offering similar seat counts and mission capability. For buyers and lessors, considerations include engine maintenance cycles for the CFM56-5B4/3, residual value relative to newer generation narrowbodies, and the commercial attractiveness of a high-density 182-seat all-economy cabin when remarketing or deploying on high-demand short-haul routes.
