N271NV

This airframe, registered as N271NV, is an Airbus A320-214 built in 2006 with manufacturer's serial number 2932. The aircraft is owned by ALLEGIANT AIR LLC, a corporation based in Las Vegas, NV, US, and is registered in the US. As a high-density, single-class configuration operated from a leisure-carrier base, the airframe’s ownership by a Las Vegas–based corporation reflects its use in point-to-point, cost-sensitive short- to medium-haul markets. Notable registry actions include its continuous US registration under the tail N271NV since delivery to its current operator group.

The cabin of N271NV is configured in a single-class, all-economy, high-density layout seating 182 passengers, aligning with the owner’s leisure and high-utilization network strategy. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include short- to medium-range, high-frequency trunk and leisure routes that exploit the A320-214’s 3,300 nm range and cruise speed of 447 kts to maximize daily utilization. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on support for the twin CFM56-5B4/P engines and high-cycle wear items driven by dense seating and rapid turnaround operations. The aircraft’s operational base in Las Vegas, NV positions it for seasonal demand flows and leisure-focused scheduling.

The Airbus A320-214 airframe represented by N271NV belongs to a family positioned in the narrowbody single-aisle market for short- to medium-haul operations, offering a balance of range and efficiency appropriate for 150–190 seat high-density layouts. Competing models in its segment include other A320ceo variants and 150–180 seat variants from rival manufacturers, with buyer and charter demand often driven by fleet commonality and unit cost per seat. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe type emphasize life-limited parts, CFM56 engine support, and the economics of high-density interiors when assessing residual value.
