N401AV

This airframe, registered as N401AV, is an Airbus-built narrow-body jet completed in 2009 with manufacturer serial number 4001. It is recorded as owned by AIRCOL 8, a corporation based in Wilmington, DE, US, and carries a US registration. The aircraft is an Airbus A320-214 configured for high-density single-class service and has no publicly listed changes in operator history or notable registry actions beyond its current corporate ownership.

The cabin of this airframe is fitted in a 182-seat airline passenger layout configured as a single-class / high-density cabin, intended to maximize revenue seating capacity. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft are short- to medium-range trunk routes enabled by its 3,300 nm range and cruise speed near 450 kts, suitable for dense point-to-point or high-frequency shuttle operations. As powered by two CFM56-5B4 engines rated at 27,000 lbf each, maintenance considerations align with common twinjet engine support and line maintenance programs, with particular attention to engine inspection intervals and shop visit planning. The owner’s base in Wilmington, DE, US suggests administrative registration and maintenance oversight may be coordinated from that location.

As an Airbus A320-214, this airframe occupies a performance niche for single-aisle, high-density operations with a high seat count of 182 and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft, balancing payload and range for regional and transcontinental sectors. Its twin CFM56-5B4 configuration and rated thrust of 27,000 lbf each support commonality benefits for operators prioritizing fleet-level engine and component logistics. Resale or secondary market considerations for this specific airframe will hinge on its high-density interior, airframe age from 2009, and maintenance status under corporate ownership by AIRCOL 8, factors that influence conversion potential and operator interest.
