N548VL

This airframe, registered as N548VL, is an Airbus-built example of the Airbus A320-271N family, delivered in 2023 with manufacturer serial number 11311. The aircraft is recorded as owned by WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE, a corporation located in Wilmington, DE, US; this trustee ownership indicates institutional title holding rather than direct airline operation. The registration is listed as US, and there are no additional operator or home-base details published in the provided data. Ownership under a trust structure is a notable registry characteristic for this airframe and reflects common financing and leasing arrangements in the modern narrowbody market.

The cabin on this specific A320-271N is configured as a single-aisle, high-density layout with a 3-3 economy seating arrangement, noted as the Volaris Costa Rica high-density fit at approximately 190 seats. Avionics are fitted with the standard Airbus A320 integrated flight deck, incorporating EFIS displays and fly-by-wire flight controls. With a range of 3,400 nm and a cruise speed near 450 kts, this aircraft is suited to short- to medium-haul point-to-point and high-frequency regional trunk routes typical of low-cost carriers operating dense seating plans. Maintenance considerations for this tail are driven by its high-density configuration and the geared turbofan PW1127G-JM engines, which align with contemporary service and component support practices for A320neo-family operators.

The Airbus A320-271N occupies the narrowbody single-aisle middle market as a fuel-efficient, high-capacity short- to medium-range airliner within the A320neo family. It competes primarily with updated variants of the Boeing 737 MAX and other single-aisle types for replacement and growth roles. Demand among airlines and lessors tends to favor neo-family airframes with high-density fits for low-cost carriers, while resale and maintenance value factors are influenced by engine choice (here, PW1127G-JM), cabin density, and trust/lessor ownership structures such as that recorded for this airframe.
