N788AV

This airframe, registered as N788AV, is an Airbus narrow-body built in 2019 with manufacturer serial number 8938. It is an Airbus A320-251N (A320neo) powered airframe held in trust by WELLS FARGO TRUST CO NA TRUSTEE, a corporate owner located in Salt Lake City, UT; the ownership is registered to that trustee entity. The aircraft carries a US registration and the listed owner indicates institutional financial custody rather than an operating airline; operator and home-base details are not published. Notable registry actions, operational history, and current valuation or specific condition highlights are not published for this tail number.

The specific cabin fit for N788AV is configured for 12 business / 168 economy (C12Y168) seating, supporting a single-aisle high-density two-class layout typically used for short- to medium-haul trunk and transcontinental services. The cockpit is equipped with the Airbus A320-family integrated flight deck consistent with the standard A320 avionics architecture, supporting common type-rated crew operations and fleet interoperability. Given the trustee ownership, the aircraft is likely to be leased or placed under commercial management rather than operated directly by the owner; routine missions would reflect the A320neo role of short-to-medium range scheduled passenger services. Specific unique amenities, current operator maintenance programs, or special modifications for this individual shipset are not published.

The Airbus A320-251N (A320neo) airframe occupies the modern narrow-body single-aisle market niche, offering improved fuel efficiency and range versus previous A320ceo variants, driven by the incorporation of CFM LEAP-1A engines. With a cruise speed of 470 kts and a ferry/operational range around 3,400 nm, the type competes directly with updated Boeing 737 MAX variants for airline short- to medium-haul networks. Market demand typically favors A320neo family aircraft for their fuel burn advantages and commonality across A320 operators; resale and maintenance considerations for this specific serial will depend on lease status, maintenance records, and the trustee-held ownership structure.
