N297NV

This entry covers airframe N297NV, an Airbus A320-family narrowbody built in 2006 with manufacturer serial number 2778. The airframe is recorded in the United States registry under registration US and is owned by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee located in Salt Lake City, UT, US. Public records show no long-term commercial operator listed, and the asset appears held in trust rather than operated by an airline; this corporate trustee ownership suggests the airframe has been retained for lease, financial collateral, or secured-interest purposes rather than active line flying. No public valuation or recent condition report is published in the supplied data.

The aircraft is outfitted in a standard airline layout with a 182 single‑class passenger configuration, consistent with high-density short- to medium-haul operations. With a design range of 3,300 nm and a cruise speed of 447 kts, typical mission profiles would encompass domestic trunk routes and medium-range transcontinental sectors when placed in revenue service. Avionics and specific fit details are not published in the supplied data; maintenance considerations for this airframe would follow Airbus A320-214 type programs and the CFM56-5B4/P engine shop visits. Based on registry ownership by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, the aircraft may be managed by a lessor or placed under third-party management rather than flown under a single airline livery.

The Airbus A320-214 belongs to the A320 family, occupying the single-aisle, 150–180 seat market niche with efficient short- to medium-haul performance and commonality benefits across the type. Powered by two CFM56-5B4/P engines each rated at 27,000 lbf, the type competes directly with variants of the Boeing 737 family for airline and charter buyers. For a 2006-build airframe like N297NV, key resale and leasing considerations include remaining airframe fatigue life, CFM56 engine shop visit status, and cabin refurbishment to contemporary passenger expectations; trust ownership can simplify transfer or remarketing but may require active management to return the aircraft to service.
