N903NK

This airframe, registered as N903NK, is an Airbus A320neo-family aircraft built in 2016 with manufacturer serial number 7011. The airframe is owned and operated by Spirit Airlines, a corporation based in Miramar, FL, US, and is registered in the US. The unit is a factory-built Airbus S.A.S. model Airbus A320-271N powered by geared turbofan engines and is presented in the operator's high-density single-class layout; no other ownership or registry changes are recorded in the supplied data.

The cabin of N903NK is fitted in Spirit Airlines' high-density single-class configuration with 182 seats arranged as 8 Big Front + 174 Economy, reflecting the carrier's ultralow-cost model emphasizing seating density. As a fixed-wing multi-engine airliner with a long-range narrowbody capability, the airframe is typically deployed on short- to medium-haul trunk and transcontinental routes within its 3,400 nm range and operates from Spirit’s Miramar, Florida base. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on its Pratt & Whitney PW1127G geared turbofan powerplants, which require operator-aligned shop visit scheduling and parts support consistent with airline-operated A320neo fleet practices. Avionics fitment is standard for the A320-271N family as produced by Airbus S.A.S., configured for airline operations.

The Airbus A320-271N represents the A320neo family niche prioritizing improved fuel efficiency and range versus previous generation A320ceo types, with the Pratt & Whitney PW1127G engines delivering 27,075 lbf of thrust apiece. Competing models in its class include other A320neo variants and the Boeing 737 MAX series, with demand driven by low-cost carriers seeking high-capacity, fuel-efficient narrowbodies. For buyers and lessors, considerations for this airframe include its 2016 vintage, high-density cabin layout affecting residual value for full-service operators, and ongoing maintenance profiles tied to PW1100G-series turbofan support.
