N505VL

The airframe bearing registration N505VL is an Airbus A320-233 completed in 2011 with manufacturer serial number 4798. This specific airframe is recorded as owned by WELLS FARGO TRUST CO NA TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Columbia, MD, US, which indicates institutional financial custody rather than an operating carrier; no separate operator or base of operations is published in the provided data. The record highlights a standard production A320 of its vintage with an international U.S. registration and corporate trust ownership, suggesting the airframe has been used in a lease or finance role during its service life. Detailed registry actions, valuation history, and condition reports are not published in the supplied dataset.

The cabin for this airframe is configured in a single-class high-density economy layout consistent with Volaris-typical A320 arrangements, approximately 174–180 seats, and the provided data lists 180 seats for this example. Operationally, an A320-233 with the specified range and performance is suited to short- to medium-haul trunk and point-to-point services; under corporate trustee ownership it is commonly employed in leasing arrangements to such operators. Avionics and exact fitment for this serial are not detailed in the supplied material, and no unique amenities or maintenance action items are published for this tail number. Routine maintenance considerations for the type include adherence to Airbus structural and engine shop visit schedules for the IAE V2527E-A5 powerplant.

The Airbus A320-233 belongs to the A320 family, positioned in the narrow-body single-aisle market for short- to medium-range routes; the airframe’s 3,300 nm range and 444 kt cruise speed reflect typical A320 performance for dense short-haul networks. Competitors in this performance niche include derivative single-aisles from other manufacturers offering similar capacity and economics. Buyer and lessor demand for A320s of 2011 vintage often centers on fleet replacement, lease returns, and secondary-market trades; resale and maintenance considerations emphasize remaining airframe life, manifest of cabin configuration (here a high-density 180-seat layout), and the lifecycle status of the IAE V2527E-A5 engines.
