N653AW

The airframe designated N653AW is an Airbus Airbus A320-232 built in 1999 with manufacturer serial number 1003. The aircraft is registered in the US and is currently held by US BANK NA TRUSTEE, a corporation based in Boston, MA, US; available records indicate this entity as the listed owner without publicly documented prior commercial operators in the supplied data. Its formal status reflects trust-custodial ownership rather than an operating airline, and any operational custody changes or lease activity are not published in the provided dataset. Condition and valuation specifics are not included in the source material.

The airframe's certified seating of 200 suggests a single-aisle, high-density passenger layout typical of the A320 family, configured for short- to medium-haul operations within its 3,000 nm range. As an A320-232, it would normally be operated under the fixed-wing multi-engine category and utilized on domestic and transcontinental routes consistent with its certified ceiling of 41,000 ft, though actual route deployment depends on operator decisions and is not specified in the data. Cabin fit, specific avionics suites, and interior amenities for N653AW are not detailed in the supplied information; maintenance considerations center on the twin IAE V2500 engines, each rated at 25,000 lbf, which influence typical shop visit cycles and parts logistics for owners and trustees.

The Airbus A320-232 belongs to the A320 family, a widely used narrow-body platform positioned for short- to medium-range air transport with seating capacities around the 200 mark in high-density configurations. Competitors in the marketplace include other narrow-body types serving similar mission profiles; buyer interest is influenced by fleet commonality, engine maintenance regimes (notably the IAE V2500), and residual value trends. For a 1999-build airframe such as N653AW, considerations for resale or return-to-service typically emphasize airframe hours, engine shop history, and any recorded ownership or registry actions, with trust-held status often indicating finance- or lease-related stewardship rather than direct airline operation.
