N652AW

This airframe, registered as N652AW, is an Airbus A320-232 built by Airbus Industrie in 1999 with manufacturer serial number 0953. Its recorded owner is U S BANK NA TRUSTEE, a corporation based in Boston, MA, US, which indicates this airframe has been held under trust rather than direct airline ownership; the trustee ownership structure suggests leasing or asset-management custody historically. The aircraft carries a US registration and is certified for mainline passenger service; condition and valuation details are not published in the supplied data.

This specific A320 is certified for 200 seats, although the provided data notes that operators typically configure A320s in two‑class layouts at around ~150 seats for mainline service, reflecting a common reconfiguration when used in passenger airline operations. The flight deck is the standard Airbus A320 glass cockpit with FMGC‑based avionics, supporting modern navigation and operational procedures for fixed‑wing multi‑engine airliners. Typical mission profiles for this airframe type include short- to medium‑haul mainline routes within the aircraft’s 3,300 nm range, operating at cruise speeds near 444 kts and up to a service ceiling of 41,000 ft. Maintenance considerations for this airframe would follow the IAE V2500 engine maintenance regime and Airbus A320 airframe checks under whatever lessor or trustee‑directed maintenance program the owner mandates.

The Airbus A320-232 represents a member of the A320 family aimed at the single‑aisle, short‑to‑medium‑haul market niche. With twin IAE V2500 engines producing 25,000 lbf each, the type competes against contemporaneous narrowbodies in range and cruise performance suitable for dense, high‑frequency routes. Buyer and charter demand for late‑1990s A320s is influenced by seating configuration flexibility (factory certification at 200 seats versus typical ~150 two‑class layouts), airframe age, and engine maintenance status — factors important in resale and leasing markets where trustee ownership structures like U S BANK NA TRUSTEE often play a role.
