Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N538VL, is an Airbus-built narrowbody completed in 2018 with manufacturer serial number 8366. Ownership is held by WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Wilmington, DE, US; the aircraft is recorded on the United States registry (US). Public records for operator, base of operations, specific registry entries beyond registration, and current valuation are not published for this tail; however, the trustee ownership indicates the airframe is held in a corporate trust structure rather than by an individual owner. Registered in the United States reflects its national registry status.

The cabin of this airframe is configured in a high-density single-class layout with 190 seats, consistent with an operator configuration optimized for maximum passenger capacity. With a range of 3,400 nm and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft, the airframe is suited to short- to medium-haul dense trunk routes, point-to-point sectors, or high-capacity charter operations within continental markets and transcontinental sectors. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft revolve around its pair of PW1127G-JM geared turbofan engines, which influence scheduled shop visits, life-limited part planning, and potential engine program enrollment; detailed avionics fit and in-service maintenance status are not published.

The airframe is an example of the Airbus A320-271N family member produced by Airbus and powered by Pratt & Whitney geared turbofans, combining a 190-seat high-density cabin with a 3,400 nm range and a 41,000 ft ceiling for versatile network deployment. These technical attributes position the type for operators seeking high-density seating and moderate transcontinental capability while balancing fuel-efficiency gains from the PW1127G-JM powerplants. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its high-density interior, corporate-trust ownership status, and the engine model selection, each of which can affect remarketing strategies and maintenance tracking in secondary markets.
