As an A320-214 from 2009, serial 3988 sits within the broad A320 family niche serving high-frequency short- to medium-haul markets with single-aisle efficiency and commonality benefits. The combination of the widely used CFM56-5B4 engines and standard A320 performance (cruise ~450 kts, ceiling 39,000 ft) makes it competitive against contemporaneous narrowbody types for leasing, regional airline fleet replacement, and charter demand. Typical buyer and maintenance considerations for this airframe focus on airframe hours, CFM56 supportability, and the two-class interior configuration when assessing resale or conversion economics.
