N657AW

This airframe, registered as N657AW, is an Airbus A320-232 built in 1999 with manufacturer serial number 1083. The aircraft is recorded as owned by the corporate trustee U S Bank Na Trustee (corporation) located in Boston, MA, United States, a holding arrangement indicative of financial or leasing activity rather than direct airline operation. The airframe carries a United States registration (US) and is categorized as a fixed-wing multi-engine aircraft. Valuation records list the aircraft at $3,500,000, reflecting its late-1990s manufacture and status in the used narrowbody market.

The A320-232 airframe is configured for 150 seats, consistent with single-aisle short- to medium-haul airline layouts that typically feature a two-class or high-density single-class cabin. Avionics and specific cabin fittings for this serial are not published in the supplied data; common A320 systems for this generation include digital flight decks and standard passenger service equipment. With a design cruise of 510 kts and a ferry/operational range near 3,300 nm, typical missions would include domestic U.S. trunk routes and transcontinental sectors or dense regional services. The corporate trustee ownership suggests the aircraft may be held for lease, remarketing, or collateral purposes rather than being actively operated by a single airline; ownership by a bank trustee commonly precedes an operator assignment or sale.

The Airbus A320-232 belongs to the A320 family, which occupies the single-aisle, short- to medium-range market niche and competes directly with models such as Boeing 737 classics and later 737 NG variants. Performance figures—3,300 nm range, 41,000 ft ceiling, and 26,600 lbf engines—place this airframe in line with standard A320 operational capabilities for high-frequency routes. For buyers and lessors, a 1999-built A320-232 with trustee ownership and a listed value of $3,500,000 will factor in remaining life cycles, maintenance status, and potential heavy checks when assessing resale or return-to-service economics.
