Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N527NK, is an Airbus A319-132 completed in 2007 with manufacturer serial number 2978. Ownership is recorded to Gryphon Trading Company LLC, a corporation based in Fort Lauderdale, FL, and the aircraft carries a United States registration. The airframe is powered by twin IAE turbofan engines and was delivered in a high-density single-class cabin; ownership and registry details indicate corporate possession rather than a major scheduled airline operator. Condition and valuation details have not been published.
The A319-132 N527NK is fitted in a 145-seat single-class configuration described as a Spirit layout, featuring 10 Big Front seats in the forward rows with the remainder arranged in a 3-3 economy pattern. Typical mission profiles for this configuration favor medium-haul, high-density passenger operations within the aircraft’s approximately 3,735 nm range and cruise speed near 446 knots, making it suitable for point-to-point and regional trunk routes. Specific avionics fit and supplementary interior options for this airframe are not published. Operated from a corporate base associated with its owner in Fort Lauderdale, maintenance considerations follow the A320 family schedules and factory-recommended service intervals for IAE V2524-A5-powered A319 variants; detailed maintenance status for this serial is not published.
The Airbus A319-132 occupies a niche as a shortened-fuselage member of the A320 family, providing a balance of short-to-medium range capability and commonality with larger family variants. With two IAE V2524-A5 engines producing about 24,480 lbf each, the type competes with similar 120–160 seat aircraft from rival manufacturers and older-generation narrowbodies in the charter and regional airline market. Demand from buyers and charter operators typically prioritizes seating density, range, and fleet commonality; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect typical A320-family support networks and the availability of used A319s in high-density single-class layouts.
