N528VL

This article concerns a specific Airbus A320 family airframe, registered as N528VL, a factory-built Airbus A320-271N constructed in 2016 with manufacturer serial number 7051. The aircraft is recorded as owned by WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee located in Wilmington, Delaware, United States, and is held in trust (ownership held in trust by Wilmington Trust). Operator and home base details are Not published. Notable registry actions are Not published and valuation or condition highlights are Not published; available public records for this tail focus on construction and current registered owner rather than detailed operational history.

The airframe is configured in a high-density six-abreast single-aisle cabin reflecting a Volaris 190-seat configuration, emphasizing maximum passenger capacity for short- to medium-haul operations. Specific avionics fit and line maintenance records are Not published; however, the PW1127G-JM propulsion suggests the aircraft operates with geared turbofan efficiency typical of this series. Typical mission profiles for this configuration would include high-frequency, short- to medium-range point-to-point routes up to 3,400 nm, where the combination of a 447 kts cruise and high-density seating supports dense domestic or transborder services. Unique amenities are Not published; routine maintenance considerations align with corporate trustee ownership where management, lease returns, or asset transitions may drive scheduled checks and records management.

The Airbus A320-271N belongs to the A320neo family, designed to fill the short-to-medium-haul single-aisle market niche with improved fuel efficiency and lower noise compared with previous-generation A320ceo variants. Competing models include contemporary narrowbodies such as the Boeing 737 MAX series, with airlines and lessors evaluating choices on fuel burn, range, and cabin density—factors relevant to a 190-seat high-density layout. Buyer demand for such high-density A320neos typically remains strong among low-cost carriers; resale and maintenance considerations often emphasize engine life (PW1127G-JM), interior refurbishment potential, and logbook completeness under trustee ownership.
