Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N601NK, is an Airbus-built narrow-body registered in the US and delivered in 2010 with manufacturer designation Airbus A320-232 and construction serial number 4206. The aircraft is owned by Spirit Airlines Inc, a corporation based in Miramar, FL, US, and has been operated from that home base under the operator’s standard commercial short-haul deployment since entering the fleet. Notable registry details include its U.S. registration and continuous commercial use; no alternate owners or major registry transfers are recorded in the supplied data. Condition and valuation specifics are not published in the supplied dataset.
The aircraft operates in a fixed-wing multi-engine transport category and is typically configured for short- to medium-haul, high-frequency commercial service consistent with its operator’s low-cost carrier model. Cabin seating and interior specification are not published in the supplied data; fittings will reflect the operator’s single-aisle A320 layout choices. The flight deck is the standard Airbus A320 arrangement, with an avionics/FMS fit that can vary by operator but is described generically as the Airbus A320 flight deck (standard A320 avionics/FMS fit varies by operator) in the data. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include domestic and nearby international routes out of its Miramar, Florida base, where turnaround efficiency and commonality with other fleet A320s are maintenance and operational priorities.
The Airbus A320-232 to which this airframe belongs serves the high-demand single-aisle market segment for short- to medium-range trunk and point-to-point routes, offering cruise speeds and range suited to regional networks. It competes with contemporary narrow-bodies in capacity and economics and is commonly sought after by carriers prioritizing fleet commonality. Maintenance considerations for this serial, powered by the IAE V2527-A5 engines, follow established A320 family support patterns; resale and secondary-market interest typically reflect airframe age (built 2010) and operator maintenance records.
