N279NV

This airframe, registered as N279NV, is an Airbus A320-214 built in 2012 with manufacturer serial number 5250. It is owned by ALLEGIANT AIR LLC (a corporation based in Las Vegas, NV, US) and carries a US registration. Entered service in 2012, the airframe is configured and maintained for high-density commercial operations under its corporate owner; notable registry actions are limited to its U.S. registration and standard operator transfers associated with airline fleet assignments. Condition highlights are consistent with a single-type, high-utilization short- to medium-haul airliner operated from a Nevada corporate base.

The aircraft is fitted in a high-density single-class commercial layout with a High-density 182-seat single-class commercial layout cabin, reflecting its role in high-capacity, short- to medium-haul point-to-point service. The flight deck is the standard Airbus A320 installation with dual FMS and EFIS — described as Airbus A320 flight deck (dual FMS / EFIS standard fit) — supporting airline operational requirements and crew commonality across the type. Typical mission profiles for this airframe emphasize high-frequency scheduled routes and charter missions within the fleet’s range capability of 3,350 nm, operated from its owner’s Las Vegas base. Maintenance considerations align with multi-cycle, high-utilization operations common to single-aisle low-cost carrier configurations, including frequent line checks and component life tracking for the CFM56-5B4 engines.

The Airbus A320-214 sits within the A320 family niche as a single-aisle, twin-engine short- to medium-range airliner competing against other narrowbodies in its class. Performance figures such as a cruise speed of 470 kts and service ceiling of 39,000 ft place it squarely in typical single-aisle airline operations, while a 182-seat high-density layout targets low-cost carrier and high-demand leisure markets. Common market considerations for buyers and lessors include strong aftermarket demand for well-maintained, high-density A320s, engine maintenance cycles specific to the CFM56-5B4, and resale values influenced by configuration, ownership history, and utilization since its 2012 build.
