N616NK

This airframe, registered as N616NK, is an Airbus A320-232 built in 2012 with manufacturer serial number 5370. The airframe is recorded as owned by UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, indicating its use in a trust or financial-asset role rather than direct airline ownership. The type is registered to the US registry, and the aircraft retains a standard airline-configured Airbus A320 flight deck. No public record of a long-term operator or base of operations is published for this specific airframe. Notable registry action: the maintenance of a U.S. registration under trustee ownership suggests institutional financing or lease-security arrangements rather than direct commercial airline title. Valuation and detailed condition reports are not published.

This individual Airbus A320-232 is equipped with an airline-standard Airbus A320 flight deck and is likely provisioned for typical short- to medium-haul single-aisle operations given the A320 family configuration. Specific cabin layout and seating count for this airframe are not published; in practice A320-232 examples typically carry seating densities that accommodate high-frequency trunk and short international services. The aircraft’s role under trustee ownership commonly aligns with lease-backed commercial operations, remarketing, or asset management, and its custody by UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE implies oversight focused on financial stewardship and compliance with operator-maintained maintenance programs. Detailed unique amenities or special maintenance notations for this serial are not published.

The Airbus A320-232 sits within the A320 family as a workhorse narrow-body jet offering a balance of range, efficiency, and commonality for single-aisle operators. With a 3,300 nm range and cruise speeds around 447 knots, it competes in the market against Boeing 737-700/800 variants and other narrow-body types for short- to medium-haul networks. Aircraft in trustee ownership are commonly traded in leasing and secondary markets; resale and maintenance considerations typically emphasize engine cycles, airframe hours, and compliance with Airbus A320 family Service Bulletins and continuing airworthiness directives, though specific records for this airframe are not published.
