N521SH

This article covers the individual Airbus A320 airframe registered as N521SH, a 2006-built example with manufacturer serial number 2840. The aircraft was produced by Airbus S.A.S. and is registered in the US. Ownership records indicate the airframe is held by Tvpx Aircraft Solutions Inc Trustee, a corporate trustee located in North Salt Lake, Utah, which represents the primary documented change in custody and the organization responsible for title and asset management.

As an individual A320-232 airframe, N521SH conforms to the single-aisle, short- to medium-haul mission profile typical for the A320 family, with a range of 3,300 nm and a normal cruise speed around 447 knots that support point-to-point regional and transcontinental routes within the continental United States and neighboring regions. Operated under US registry, the airframe would normally be configured for airline-style single-aisle seating and outfitted with avionics and systems standard for the A320 series of its vintage; specific seat counts, cabin amenities, and avionics fit for this tail are not published in the available data. Maintenance and asset management responsibilities rest with the corporate trustee owner based in North Salt Lake, UT, which implies centralized records control and typical lessor/asset-manager oversight rather than direct airline operation.

The Airbus A320-232 belongs to the A320 family, a highly competitive narrowbody platform favored for its efficiency in short- to medium-range operations. With twin IAE V2500-A5 engines rated at 27,000 lbf each, this airframe sits within the common performance envelope for regional and domestic jet services, competing against contemporaries offering similar cruise speeds and ceilings. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2006-build A320 typically focus on engine life cycles, airframe hours, and avionics retrofit potential, factors that directly affect operator and lessor demand in the used narrowbody market.
