N612NK

The airframe bearing tail number N612NK is an Airbus A320-232 built in 2012 with manufacturer's serial 5029. Owned by Wells Fargo Trust Co NA Trustee (a corporation based in Columbia, MD, US), the aircraft is U.S.-registered and has been maintained in a configuration consistent with high-density operations. Registry records and operator assignments indicate it has been used in all-economy short- to medium-haul service; the airframe is currently valued at $12,000,000, reflecting its age, configuration, and market factors. Notable administrative entries include standard trust ownership documentation and routine U.S. civil registry actions associated with operator transfers.

This specific A320-232 is outfitted in a high-density single-aisle 3-3 layout configured for all-economy operations, matching Spirit Airlines–style interiors and seating approximately 180–200 passengers within the certification limit of 200 seats. The flight deck carries the standard Airbus A320 EFIS fly-by-wire avionics suite, supporting typical airline operational procedures for short- to medium-range point-to-point routes. Mission profiles for the type and this airframe focus on high-frequency, short-haul sectors where quick turnarounds and passenger capacity are prioritized; maintenance considerations emphasize cabin wear, high-cycle airframe checks, and engine shop visits for the IAE V2527-A5 powerplants. Ownership under a trust suggests the aircraft may be operated under lease to commercial carriers rather than by the trustee itself.

The Airbus A320-232 airframe belongs to the A320 family, which occupies the single-aisle, short- to medium-range market niche competing with Boeing 737 variants and newer narrowbodies. With a range of 3,300 nm and cruise of 450 kts, the model is optimized for dense, high-frequency routes where seat-mile economics are critical. Typical buyer and lessee demand focuses on low-cost carriers and high-utilization operators; resale and maintenance considerations for this 2012-built airframe include remaining airframe cycles, interior refurbishment for different cabin standards, and engine time-on-wing for the IAE V2527-A5 engines.
