Model & Market Context

This airframe, N538AV, is an Airbus A320-214 built in 2012 with manufacturer's serial number 5398. It is recorded as owned by WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Wilmington, DE, US, and is registered in the US. The airframe's public record shows typical commercial utilization for a 2012-build A320; ownership is held in trust by the Wilmington, DE trustee entity, and valuation or detailed condition reports are not published.

The cabin of N538AV follows a typical airline layout noted around an approximate 180-seat arrangement, with public fleet listings indicating operator two-class variants reported at roughly 12 front / ~168 economy. With a design range of 3,300 nm and a cruise speed near 447 kts, the airframe is suited to short- to medium-haul scheduled operations and high-utilization airline rotations. The twin CFM56-5B4/3 engines dictate common-line maintenance practices for the type, and the airframe ceiling of 39,000 ft supports efficient cruise profiles used on domestic and transcontinental sectors. Specific operator base and unique interior amenities for this particular registration are not published.

The Airbus A320-214 sits within the A320 family as a narrow-body, medium-range, fixed-wing multi-engine airliner intended for dense single-aisle routes and high-frequency short- to medium-haul markets. With seating in the vicinity of 182 and a 3,300 nm range, it competes directly with other single-aisle types in its class for airline replacement and secondary-market demand. The widespread use of CFM56 engine variants means established maintenance support and predictable aftermarket parts pathways, factors that influence resale and leasing interest for a 2012-build airframe like N538AV.
