N289GX

The airframe bearing registration N289GX is an Airbus-built single-aisle delivered in 2007, constructor serial number 3016, configured as an Airbus A320-214. Ownership is recorded to TVPX AIRCRAFT SOLUTIONS INC TRUSTEE, a corporate owner based in North Salt Lake, UT, US, and the airframe carries a United States registration. Public records indicate operator-configurable cabin changes have been carried out for charter/ACMI use; specific valuation and detailed maintenance history are not published. Notable registry entries are limited to the recorded corporate ownership and standard US registration status.

The aircraft is fitted with an operator-configurable single-aisle cabin originally certificated for higher-density seating (up to approximately 180) and with reported operator reconfiguration to lower-density layouts (approximately 130–140) to support charter and ACMI mission profiles. The flightdeck is the standard Airbus A320 family EFIS, fly-by-wire installation with operator-specific avionics and cockpit options as fitted. Typical operational use for this airframe, given the cabin flexibility and corporate trustee ownership, centers on short- to medium-haul passenger services under charter, ACMI, or lease arrangements from its US-based owner; specific route deployments are operator-determined. Maintenance considerations follow common A320 practice with CFM56-5B4 lifecycle support programs and line maintenance compatible with regional and international A320 support networks.

The Airbus A320-214 sits in the A320 family niche as a medium-range, single-aisle airliner widely used for short- to medium-haul routes, offering competitive cruise speed and range for transcontinental and regional sectors. Competing models include later A320neo variants and narrow-body types from other manufacturers optimized for lower fuel burn; however, CFM56-powered A320ceos remain attractive to charter and ACMI operators for acquisition or lease due to availability and established maintenance support. Resale and lease considerations for this airframe hinge on its 2007 vintage, engine type, and demonstrated reconfigurability, with operators typically evaluating ETOPS-type maintenance status, remaining component life-limits, and proven cabin conversion work when assessing market value.
