N748AV

This airframe, registered as N748AV, is an Airbus A320 built in 2015 with manufacturer's serial number 6862. The aircraft is owned by Navigator Aviation II MSN 6862 Trust (registered owner); operated by Avianca, a corporate trust registered in Wilmington, DE, US (registered trust) and operated commercially by Avianca. The type design is an Airbus-built narrow-body A320 delivered in 2015 and maintained in an operator configuration seating 180 passengers. Registered in the United States and held in a Delaware-registered trust while operated by a major Latin American carrier are the primary registry and ownership highlights for this specific airframe.

The cabin configuration for this airframe is listed as 12 business / 168 economy (180 total) per the operator listing, reflecting a medium-density two-class layout optimized for short- to medium-haul trunk routes. Avionics fit and specific cabin amenity packages for this serial are not published, though the seating and operator designation indicate typical airline service use rather than VIP or corporate retrofit. Typical mission profiles for this airframe size and range include domestic and regional international sectors consistent with Avianca operations, with routine line maintenance and service cycles managed under airline procedures while the trust holds legal title. Maintenance considerations focus on standard A320 fleet-level support and A-check/C-check intervals applied by the operator.

The Airbus A320 family occupies the single-aisle, short- to medium-range market niche, offering a balance of capacity (here 180 seats) and performance (cruise 458 kts, range 3,300 nm) attractive to high-frequency route networks. Competing models in this segment typically include other narrow-body types offering similar seat-mile economics; buyer and charter demand for a 2015 A320 is driven by fleet replacement, regional expansion, and lease returns. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific serial reflect typical A320 lifecycle factors: operator utilization, maintenance history, and continued demand for CFM56-powered narrow-bodies.
