N518VL

This airframe, registered as N518VL, is an Airbus A320-233 built by Airbus in 2013 with manufacturer serial number 5488. It is recorded as owned by Bank Of Utah Trustee, a corporate trustee entity based in Salt Lake City, UT, US; the trustee ownership suggests the airframe has been held in a financial or lien-secured capacity rather than under an operating airline. The aircraft carries a US registration and has been subject to standard registry actions consistent with corporate ownership and trustee filings. Condition and valuation details are not published in the supplied data, though trustee ownership typically corresponds with preservation of asset value pending sale or lease.

As an A320-233 airframe, this individual aircraft would typically be configured for short- to medium-haul single-aisle operations, with cabin layouts that range from high-density single-class to two-class commercial fits; specific seat counts and interior specification for N518VL are not published. Avionics on type-standard A320s include integrated digital flight decks and automated flight controls suited to airline operations; any supplemental or bespoke avionics installations for this serial are not detailed in the provided data. Typical mission profiles for the model include domestic and transcontinental routes within a continental market, often operated from hubs similar to the owner’s base in Salt Lake City, UT, US when in commercial or leasing service. Maintenance considerations for a trustee-held A320 generally emphasize preservation of airworthiness records and checks required for future re-entry into active service.

The Airbus A320-233 belongs to the A320 family, positioned as a single-aisle, short- to medium-range airliner that competes primarily with variants of the Boeing 737 family. With a cruise speed of 450 kts and a range of 3,300 nm, the type fills a high-demand niche for short- to medium-haul passenger and charter markets. Buyer and leasing demand for used A320s tends to remain robust, though resale and maintenance considerations hinge on engine type—here the IAE V2527E-A5—logbook completeness, and ownership status; trustee-held airframes like N518VL often undergo detailed pre-sale maintenance and records verification before transfer.
