N527VA

This airframe, registered as N527VA, is an Airbus A319-112 built in 2008 with manufacturer serial number 3417. The certificate holder is UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE, a corporate owner located in Salt Lake City, UT, US, indicating the airframe has been held in trust rather than by an operating carrier. The aircraft is registered in the US and has been recorded with an operator-specific cabin configuration reported as the Typical Virgin America layout. No public records in this dataset indicate recent valuation changes or condition notes beyond ownership and registration status.

The cabin for this specific A319 is reported in a Typical Virgin America layout, described as C8 Business / W12 Premium / Y99 Economy, reflecting an operator-specific three-class interior on a 100-seat airframe. Operationally, this configuration suits short- to medium-haul high-frequency point-to-point services characteristic of Virgin America’s network during its period of service; the listed range and cruise speed support transcontinental US missions and dense short-haul rotations. Maintenance considerations for this airframe would follow Airbus A319 practice items and CFM56-5B6 engine type ratings; the trustee ownership structure suggests the aircraft may have been held for lease security, remarketing, or asset management rather than primary operator stewardship.

The Airbus A319-112 occupies the smaller member of the A320 family, offering single-aisle efficiency with reduced capacity relative to A320 variants, making it suitable for operators seeking 100-seat capability with transcontinental range up to 3,750 nm and a service ceiling of 39,000 ft. Competing types include smaller narrowbodies in the A320neo/737 Next Generation families when considering replacement cycles and resale demand. The fitted CFM56-5B6 engines and the three-class cabin layout influence maintenance schedules, refurbishment costs, and remarketing prospects, with trustee ownership implying potential attention to lease returns and condition preservation for secondary-market transactions.
