N542JB

The airframe bearing tail number N542JB is an Airbus-built narrow-body delivered new in 2002, manufacturer serial 1802, and is owned and operated by JetBlue Airways (a corporation based in the United States). The aircraft is registered under US civil registry and has been maintained within the operator’s fleet without public reports of major registry transfers or ownership changes beyond its carrier assignment. Current public documentation does not disclose an independent market valuation or detailed condition report; valuation and condition highlights are Not published. As a single-airframe profile, this A320 represents a common-build example of early-2000s production for JetBlue’s medium-haul network.

The Airbus A320 airframe N542JB is configured with a 156-seat layout consistent with single-aisle, high-density medium-haul operations typical of its operator. Cabin fit is optimized for short- to medium-haul sectors within the carrier’s network, supporting frequent daily rotations and high utilization; specific galley, lavatory, and seat-branding details for this serial are not published. Avionics conform to the A320 baseline for the 2002 production block with integrated flight deck systems compatible with standard airline operational procedures for the type. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include domestic and near-international routes up to its 3,200 nm range, operating from JetBlue’s principal bases under routine line maintenance programs prescribed by the operator; unique amenities or aircraft-specific maintenance advisories are Not published.

The Airbus A320 family occupies the single-aisle, short- to medium-range performance niche with cruise speeds near 447 kts and service ceilings to 39,000 ft, competing directly with contemporary narrowbodies from Boeing and later-generation A320neo variants. With twin IAE V2527-A5 engines rated at 25,000 lbf each, this airframe reflects the common-engine option era that drives aftermarket support and parts pooling considerations. Buyer and charter demand for early-2000s A320s is influenced by retrofit potential, seat-count economics (here 156 seats), and engine maintenance status; resale and heavy-maintenance considerations for this specific serial are Not published.
