Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N568JB, is an Airbus-built Airbus A320-232 completed in 2003 with manufacturer serial number 2063. It is owned and operated by JetBlue Airways, a corporation based in Long Island City, NY, US, and carries a United States registration. The record for this specific airframe reflects standard operator stewardship under JetBlue; no other ownership transfers or exceptional registry actions are listed in the supplied data. As a 2003-build A320, the airframe represents an example of early-2000s A320-family production retained in mainline carrier service.

The cabin is fitted to an operator-standard single-class high-density A320 layout consistent with a typical JetBlue A320 configuration, reflecting a focus on high-capacity short- to medium-haul operations. With a published range of 3,294 nm and cruise speed near 432 kts, this airframe is suited to transcontinental and longer regional sectors within an operator’s domestic and near-international network. Based out of Long Island City, NY, US under JetBlue’s corporate ownership, the aircraft is deployed in line with the carrier’s point-to-point routing model and high-utilization schedule. The twin IAE V2527-A5 engine fit provides the rated thrust and performance envelope aligned with the A320-232’s certified ceiling of 39,000 ft.

The Airbus A320-232 is a member of the A320 family occupying the single-aisle short-to-medium-haul market niche, offering a balance of capacity and range as indicated by this airframe’s 3,294 nm capability and cruise performance. As a 2003 serial 2063 example, the airframe reflects the mid-life segment of A320s in airline fleets and factors into typical maintenance, fleet commonality, and operational economics considerations for mainline carriers. The twin IAE V2527-A5 propulsion and common A320 systems make it straightforward to integrate into an operator with existing A320 infrastructure, influencing demand on the used mainline market and fleet replacement planning.
