N451AV

This entry covers airframe N451AV, an Airbus-built narrow-body completed in 2009 as airframe serial number 4051. The type is a Airbus A320-214 manufactured by Airbus, and the aircraft carries a United States registration (US). Ownership is recorded to the corporation Avianca Colombia, located in Bogotá, Colombia, which operates the airplane in a high-density commercial configuration. Notable registry actions include its registration in the United States while being operated by a Bogotá-based corporate operator, and the airframe is described in operator records with a reported high-density seating fit for dense short- to medium-haul missions.

The aircraft is fitted in an operator high-density layout reported as C12Y168 with approximately 168 seats, reflecting a single-aisle, high-capacity passenger cabin optimized for dense seating. Avionics are the standard Airbus A320 flight deck suite, with FMGS/FMS navigation and associated systems, supporting airline-style operational procedures and performance planning. Typical missions for this installation are short- to medium-range scheduled or high-density charter services within the aircraft’s 3,300 nm range and cruise speed of 444 kts, operated from the owner’s base in Bogotá, Colombia. Maintenance considerations focus on typical A320 family items and the CFM56-5B series engine program as deployed on a high-utilization, high-seat-count configuration.

As an A320-214, this airframe belongs to the Airbus A320 family known for single-aisle efficiency and flexible cabin layouts for dense regional and short-haul trunk routes. Competing models in the same market niche include comparable single-aisle types offering similar seat-mile economics. Buyer and operator demand for this configuration typically targets carriers or lessors seeking high-density, short- to medium-range capacity; resale and maintenance considerations center on A320 airframe cycle history and the commonality advantages of the widespread CFM56-5B engine fleet.
