N287NV

This entry covers airframe N287NV, an Airbus-built narrowbody delivered in 2010 with manufacturer's serial number 4508. The airframe is an Airbus A320-214 originally manufactured by Airbus and is registered in the US. Ownership is held by SUNRISE ASSET MANAGEMENT LLC of Las Vegas, NV, US, a corporate lessor; this airframe’s documented history is dominated by that corporate ownership rather than long-term airline operation. Notable registry actions are limited to the established corporate registration and standard commercial asset management practices typical of lessor-owned A320s; published valuation and condition assessments are not included in the provided dataset.

This airframe is outfitted in a high-density single-class layout with 182 seats, configured for short- to medium-haul commercial or ACMI (aircraft, crew, maintenance, and insurance) leasing operations where seat density and revenue capacity are priorities. The cockpit carries the Airbus A320 standard digital flight deck with fly-by-wire control laws, supporting typical airline operational practices and crew commonality within the A320 family. With a published cruise of 470 kts and a maximum practical ceiling of 39,000 ft, the aircraft is suited for domestic and transcontinental sectors within its 3,300 nm range envelope. Maintenance and operational considerations for this airframe align with those for corporate-owned A320s operated in high-utilization lease roles, emphasizing cycles, cabin refurbishment for dense seating, and CFM56 engine shop visit scheduling.

The Airbus A320-214 occupies the single-aisle short- to medium-range market niche, competing against similar variants such as the Boeing 737 family in airline fleets and leasing portfolios. With twin CFM56-5B engines producing 27,000 lbf each, the type balances fuel efficiency and reliability for dense short-haul networks. Demand among buyers and lessors favors high-density A320s for replacement of older types and for carriers prioritizing seat-mile economics; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe will reflect its 2010 build year, cycle count, and corporate lessor maintenance standards.
