Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N545VL, is an Airbus-built narrowbody completed in 2022 with manufacturer serial number 10495. The airframe is an Airbus A320-271N currently owned by Volaris Costa Rica, an airline based in Costa Rica, while its civil registration is listed as US. The aircraft is equipped with modern geared turbofan propulsion and entered service following delivery from Airbus; registration in the United States and ownership by a Costa Rica–based carrier are the principal public registry notes. Valuation and detailed condition reports for this individual frame are Not published.
As an A320neo-family airframe, this example typically supports single-aisle, medium-haul airline operations; its mission profile emphasizes short- to medium-range scheduled services within and between Central America, North America, and regional international sectors consistent with a 3,750 nm ferry capability and cruise performance of 450 kts. Cabin layout and seating count are operator-specific and not published here; however, Volaris Costa Rica’s configuration choices normally prioritize high-density economy seating for low-cost carrier operations. Avionics align with Airbus A320neo standards, supporting modern navigation and flight-management systems; maintenance considerations concentrate on the geared turbofan PW1127G-JM engines and common A320ceo/neo airframe support packages. Routine base maintenance and line checks would be carried out under the operator’s approved program at its Costa Rican facilities or at approved third-party centers.
The Airbus A320-271N belongs to the A320neo family, a platform positioned to deliver improved fuel burn and lower noise relative to previous generation single-aisles, powered here by PW1127G-JM engines producing 27,075 lbf each. Its 3,750 nm range and 39,000 ft ceiling make it suitable for dense short- and medium-haul markets where operators seek low trip costs and high dispatch reliability. Competing types include current-generation narrowbodies with similar seating and range; resale and maintenance outlooks hinge on engine program support and residual demand for neo-family airframes in the low-cost carrier market.
