N530VL

The airframe registered as N530VL is an Airbus A320-271N built in 2017 with manufacturer serial number 7553. The aircraft is operated by Volaris (operator) and is leased from AerCap (lessor reported in public records), with the lessee operating principally from Mexico while the registration is recorded in the US. The configuration for this specific airframe is a single-class, high-density cabin listed as Y186 (186 seats), and public records identify the owner relationship as an airline-lessee arrangement with AerCap as lessor.

This A320-271N is outfitted in a high-density single-class layout (Y186) intended for short- to medium-haul operations consistent with its declared 3,400 nm range and cruise speed of 447 kts. The configuration supports dense seating and frequent-turn mission profiles favored by low-cost and high-utilization carriers; as such, the operator Volaris would typically deploy this airframe on scheduled routes where seat density and quick turnarounds are prioritized. Maintenance and operational oversight reflect the leased status—leased from AerCap—which commonly entails coordination between lessor records and the operator’s base maintenance program. The aircraft’s twin Pratt & Whitney PW1127G-JM engines, each rated at 26,345 lbf, define its propulsion and performance envelope for climb and cruise operations up to a service ceiling of 39,000 ft.

As an example of the A320neo family, this Airbus A320-271N airframe combines a high-density passenger fit with contemporary engine technology—here represented by the PW1127G-JM powerplants—and serves a market niche for carriers prioritizing economy seating and efficient short- to medium-range utilization. The aircraft’s specification set (seat count 186, range 3,400 nm, cruise 447 kts) frames typical buyer and operator considerations around fleet standardization, lease-back relationships, and mid-life maintenance planning tied to lessor-owned assets.
