Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N515VL is an Airbus A320-233 built in 2012 with manufacturer serial number 5391. Ownership of this specific aircraft is recorded under the corporate trustee Bank Of Utah Trustee, a corporate owner listed without a public home base; no further ownership transfers or notable registry events are published for this airframe. The airframe carries a US registration and retains its original Airbus manufacture specification; operator and primary base are not published for this record. Condition and valuation notes for this individual airframe are not published in the supplied data.
This airframe is outfitted in a high-density single-class cabin layout with approximately 174 economy seats, configured for maximum passenger capacity rather than a multi-class executive fit. The flight deck is the Airbus A320 family standard configuration with airline-specific FMS and avionics installations noted as part of the type fit; specific avionics supplier variants or software versions are not published. Typical mission profiles for this configuration emphasize short- to medium-haul point-to-point airline operations within the aircraft’s 3,300 nm range and cruise speed near 447 kt, optimized for high-frequency, high-density trunk or regional routes. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe follow standard A320 family practices for twin turbofan installations and high-utilization single-class interiors; any airframe-specific maintenance status or modification history is not published.
The Airbus A320-233 belongs to the A320ceo family, occupying the single-aisle, 150–180 seat market niche where fuel-efficient twin turbofan performance and commonality with A320 family flight decks drive airline preference. In this configuration with IAE V2527E-A5 engines and a 174-seat high-density layout, the type competes directly with earlier-generation Boeing 737-800 and newer narrowbody variants for dense short- and medium-haul sectors. Buyer and lease demand for such high-density A320ceo airframes typically targets carriers seeking capacity and common-type pilot training efficiencies; resale and maintenance considerations center on engine time, line-maintenance status, and cabin refurbishment needs, none of which are published for this specific serial 5391.
