N554JB

This airframe, registered as N554JB, is an Airbus-built narrowbody originally manufactured in 2002 as an Airbus A320-232 with manufacturer serial number 1898. The airframe is owned by the corporation Bank Of Utah Trustee, based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and appears on the U.S. registry under US registration. Maintenance and operational history beyond basic registry data are not published; the aircraft’s high-density passenger fit and corporate trustee ownership suggest a period of commercial airline use followed by placement with a corporate creditor or lessor.

The cabin of this specific A320 is configured in a single-aisle 3–3 arrangement in a high-density JetBlue-derived layout, reported as Y162; this indicates a focus on maximum passenger capacity rather than premium cabin zones. Avionics fit for this airframe is not published. With a ferry/operational range of 3,300 nm and a cruise speed of 447 kts, the aircraft is best suited to short- to medium-haul point-to-point and high-frequency trunk routes. Based on its seating density and engine type, typical mission profiles would include high-cycle, high-utilization airline service or third-party charter where seat-mile economics are prioritized. Maintenance considerations for this airframe center on the twin IAE V2527-A5 engines and airframe cycle life associated with dense seating operations.

The Airbus A320-232 sits within the A320 family niche as a single-aisle, medium-range airliner optimized for high-frequency, short-to-medium-haul routes. Competitors for aircraft of this vintage and configuration include comparable 737 variants in capacity and mission profile. Buyers and lessors often value well-maintained, high-density A320s for dense network carriers or ACMI/charter operators; however, resale and remarketing can be affected by interior density, engine type (IAE V2527-A5) maintenance status, and overall cycle/age factors related to a 2002-built airframe.
