N281AV

The airframe bearing tail number N281AV is an Airbus A320-214 built in 2010 with manufacturer serial number 4281. The airframe is owned and operated by Avianca, a corporation based in Colombia, and is recorded on a US registration. Notably registered in the United States while remaining under the operational control of a Colombian carrier, the aircraft reflects mid-life narrowbody service, with an estimated market valuation of $11,000,000 at the time of the provided data. Condition highlights reflect a typical in-service status for a 2010-build single-aisle jet maintained to an operator standard appropriate for scheduled short- and medium-haul operations.

The cabin for N281AV follows a typical two-class Avianca layout with approximately 12 business / 168 economy seats reported in operator configurations, yielding a 180-seat layout when fitted to the operator’s standard. The flightdeck is equipped with the Airbus standard A320 flightdeck and FMGS (digital flight guidance and management systems), supporting contemporary airline operational procedures and navigation. Typical mission profiles for this airframe emphasize short- to medium-range scheduled services consistent with a 3,348 nm range and a cruise speed near 438 kts, operated from the carrier’s Colombian base. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft center on the twin CFM56-5B4/3 engines and the mid-life airframe economics associated with a 2010 serial 4281 example.

As an Airbus A320-214, the airframe occupies the single-aisle, fixed-wing multi-engine market niche for short- to medium-range trunk and regional mainline routes, offering typical cruise performance at 438 kts and a service ceiling of 39,000 ft. Buyer and lease interest for examples like N281AV tends to be influenced by engine health (CFM56-5B4/3), remaining structural life, and operator-configured seating density, all factors that feed into resale and maintenance planning for an asset valued at roughly $11,000,000.
