N579JB

This airframe, registered as N579JB, is an Airbus A320-232 constructed in 2003 with manufacturer serial number 2132. The airframe is owned and operated by JetBlue Airways Corp, a Long Island City, NY–based corporation, and is entered on the US registry. The aircraft has remained in single-operator service under JetBlue’s fleet configuration, with typical registry entries reflecting routine maintenance and operator-based transfers; no public record of change of ownership outside JetBlue is noted. Valuation and condition highlights: Not published.

The aircraft operates in a single-class high-density JetBlue layout, fitted with 162 economy seats optimized for high-capacity short- to medium-haul flights. Its avionics fit is the Airbus standard A320 flightdeck, including digital EFIS and fly-by-wire flight controls, supporting modern airline operations and type-common training across the fleet. Typical mission profiles for this airframe emphasize domestic and near-international trunk routes where the platform’s 3,024 nm range and 470 kt cruise speed deliver high-frequency, short-to-medium stage lengths. Based at JetBlue’s operating bases and maintained to the carrier’s maintenance program, the aircraft benefits from operator-standard heavy checks and line maintenance cycles tailored to the A320 family; no unique retrofit or amenity modifications beyond JetBlue’s high-density cabin configuration are recorded for this airframe.

The Airbus A320-232 occupies a central role in single-aisle, narrowbody markets, offering a balance of range, capacity, and operating efficiency that competes directly with contemporaneous variants of the Boeing 737 family. With two IAE V2527-A5 engines producing 24,800 lbf each, the type serves high-frequency carriers seeking dense seating and commonality across fleets. In resale and maintenance markets, A320s of this vintage (2003 manufacture) are assessed for airframe cycle life, cabin configuration impact on residual value, and engine shop visit schedules; fleet-common parts availability and broad operator support generally underpin stable demand.
