N558JB

This airframe, registered as N558JB, is an Airbus A320-232 built in 2002 with manufacturer serial number 1915. The airframe is owned by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and carries a United States registration. The aircraft is valued at $12,000,000, reflecting its early-2000s manufacture date and high-density passenger configuration. Registered in the United States and maintained to typical line operations standards for fixed-wing multi-engine airliners, the airframe’s registry and trustee ownership suggest financial lien or leasing arrangements in its operational history.

The aircraft is fitted in a single-class, high-density JetBlue-style cabin designated Y162, seating 162 passengers and including JetBlue-style Even More Space rows to provide additional legroom in selected seats. Configured for short- to medium-haul sectors, the A320-232’s typical mission profile emphasizes high-frequency, high-density point-to-point routes where seat-mile economics are prioritized. Avionics suite specifics are not published for this individual airframe; operational considerations focus on the two IAE V2527-A5 turbofans and their maintenance cycles, which influence downtime and heavy shop visit scheduling. Trustee ownership and US registration can affect leasing, remarketing, and maintenance oversight processes specific to this aircraft.

The Airbus A320 family occupies a core narrowbody market niche for single-aisle short- to medium-range operations, competing primarily with variants of the Boeing 737 (notably the 737-800). The A320-232’s performance—cruise speed around 450 kts and a typical range near 3,300 nm—matches high-utilization network carriers and low-cost operators seeking dense seating configurations. For a 2002-built airframe valued at $12,000,000, resale and lease prospects hinge on engine condition, cabin configuration desirability, and records continuity; high-density JetBlue-style interiors can both enhance attractiveness to LCCs and require refurbishment for carriers seeking two-class service. Maintenance and remarketing considerations will center on the IAE V2527-A5 engine status and airframe ETOPS/inspection history.
