Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N523VL is an Airbus narrow-body built in 2014, constructor serial number 6014, delivered as an Airbus A320-233. Legal ownership is recorded to UMB BANK NA OWNER TRUSTEE, a corporation based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and the aircraft carries US registration. No public record of an operator or a change of operator is published; the ownership entry indicates this airframe has been held in trust rather than operated under a long-term owner-operator identity in available data. Registry actions beyond initial construction and current trustee ownership are not published, and valuation or current condition highlights are not published in the supplied data.
The cabin for this airframe is arranged as a single-aisle 3+3 layout with a mixed premium/economy configuration; operator-reported seating is approximately 26 premium seats plus 149 economy seats, yielding a total of 175 seats. Avionics fit conforms to the Airbus A320 family standard flight deck, designated here as Airbus avionics, supporting the typical two-pilot, glass-cockpit operations common to the type. With a range of 3,300 nautical miles and cruise speed near 470 knots, the aircraft is configured primarily for short- to medium-haul trunk routes, high-frequency regional transits, or third-party lease operations; specific route deployments and operator base are not published. Maintenance considerations align with standard A320 family practices keyed to the IAE V2527E-A5 engine maintenance program and line/major checks dictated by utilization and leasing/trust ownership structures.
The Airbus A320-233 sits within the A320 family niche as a single-aisle, medium-capacity airliner optimized for high-density short-to-medium sectors, competing directly with variants of the Boeing 737 family. The installed thrust class of the IAE V2527E-A5 and a 175-seat mixed-class layout make this airframe attractive to carriers and lessors seeking a balance of capacity and regional range. Buyer and lease demand typically hinge on maintenance status, remaining life-limited components, and interior configuration; ownership via a trustee entity like UMB BANK NA OWNER TRUSTEE often signals availability for lease or remarketing, with resale and maintenance planning driven by standard A320-series commonality.
