Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered N525VL, is an Airbus A320-233 built in 2014 with manufacturer serial number 6332. The aircraft is owned by UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE (corporation, United States) and carries a United States registration (US). Operated in a high-density single-class layout by Volaris, the airframe’s documented configuration and trustee ownership suggest a leasing or asset-holding arrangement rather than direct airline ownership. No public record of other registry actions is provided here; the noted trustee ownership is the principal documented custodial detail.
The cabin for this specific aircraft is configured in a single-class high-density economy layout as operated by Volaris, matching a typical A320 high-density arrangement of approximately 174–180 seats and here fitted with 179 seats. This configuration supports short- to medium-haul point-to-point and network services common to low-cost carrier operations, emphasizing seat capacity over premium amenities. Avionics and systems are standard to the A320ceo lineage equipped with V2500 propulsion; maintenance considerations generally align with IAE V2527E-A5 engine support requirements and A320-type airframe checks under operator maintenance programs. The trustee ownership model implies centralized asset management for leasing, remarketing, or financial administration rather than direct operational control.
The Airbus A320-233 is a member of the A320 family, positioned in the single-aisle, short- to medium-range market niche that competes with similar narrow-body types. With two IAE V2527E-A5 engines producing 25,000 lbf each and a 3,000 nm range, the type targets high-frequency, high-density routes where cruise speeds around 450 kts and a service ceiling to 39,000 ft are typical. Buyer and lessor demand for such configured A320s tends toward carriers seeking dense economy layouts; resale and maintenance considerations focus on engine shop visit cycles for the V2500 family and the airframe’s utilization history under operator configurations like Volaris.
