N603NK

This airframe, registered as N603NK, is an Airbus narrow-body built in 2010 with manufacturer serial number 4321. The aircraft is an Airbus A320-232 and is recorded as registered in the US; ownership is held by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, indicating a financial-asset ownership structure rather than an operating airline. No public operator was specified in the provided data; the high-density cabin fit is noted as typical of Spirit Airlines. The airframe carries a modest enterprise valuation of $3,500,000, which reflects its age, high-density interior configuration, and standard A320 systems.

The installed cabin is described as a high-density single-class economy layout accommodating approximately 180–200 passengers, with this specific airframe configured for 200 seats, a layout commonly used for low-cost, high-utilization short- to medium-haul operations. Avionics are the standard Airbus A320 integrated flight deck (standard A320 flight-deck avionics), supporting typical two-pilot commercial operations and commonality with other A320 family aircraft. With a range of 3,300 nm and a cruise speed near 447 kts, the aircraft is suited to domestic and transcontinental missions within the continental United States and nearby international sectors. As a trustee-owned asset, maintenance and dispatch decisions are likely managed by a lessee or third-party operator under contractual arrangements, and the aircraft’s valuation and condition profile will be influenced by its dense seating arrangement and utilization history.

The Airbus A320-232 sits in the single-aisle short-to-medium-range market segment, competing with other A320ceo family variants and the Boeing 737 Next Generation series. Powered by two IAE V2527-A5 engines rated at 24,800 lbf thrust each, this configuration balances fuel efficiency and performance for high-frequency shuttle and leisure service routes. Demand for such high-density, single-class A320s remains robust among low-cost carriers, but resale values are moderated by heavy-cycle wear on interiors and the competitive supply of used A320 family aircraft. For financiers and trustees like BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, maintenance reserves, transfer of operator records, and the aircraft’s standard A320 avionics commonality are key considerations for remarketing or continued lease deployment.
