N298NV

The airframe bearing registration N298NV is an Airbus A320-214 constructed in 2006 with manufacturer's serial number 2800. The aircraft is held by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a corporate owner based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and is recorded on the U.S. registry. The airframe is equipped and configured in a dense single-class layout associated with Allegiant operations, and its current status reflects ownership by a financial trustee rather than an airline operator. No public record of additional ownership transfers or notable incidents is provided in the supplied data.

This airframe is fitted with a single-class, high-density cabin of 186 economy seats in an Allegiant layout, indicating a configuration optimized for short- to medium-haul, high-capacity leisure or low-cost carrier operations. Typical mission profiles for this setup would emphasize densely booked point-to-point routes within the aircraft’s 3,300 nm range and cruise speed near 447 kts, with turnaround and payload considerations driven by the high-density seating. As a trustee-owned asset registered in the United States, operational control, dispatch base, and line maintenance arrangements may be delegated to third-party operators or lessees; specific avionics fit and maintenance records are not published in the provided data. The twin CFM56-5B4/P engines deliver 27,000 lbf of thrust each, supporting common fleet-level maintenance practices for CFM56-equipped A320 family aircraft.

The Airbus A320-214 occupies the narrow-body, single-aisle market niche for single-aisle short- to medium-haul operations, balancing capacity and range for dense passenger configurations. Competing models in similar roles include variants of the Boeing 737 family; the A320-214’s common CFM56 engine type and 186-seat high-density configuration make it a familiar platform for low-cost carriers and charter operators. For buyers and lessors, considerations include continued demand for high-capacity single-aisle aircraft, availability of CFM56 support, and the implications of trustee ownership on leaseback or remarketing strategies.
