N912NK

This airframe, registered as N912NK, is an Airbus A320-271N built in 2018 with manufacturer serial number 8038. The aircraft is owned by Wilmington Trust Co Trustee (type: corporation/trust, location: Wilmington, DE) and carries a United States registry. The airframe’s ownership is held in trust rather than by an operating carrier, and its valuation is assessed at $54,000,000, reflecting a relatively recent-build narrowbody in standard commercial condition. Operator details and any notable registry actions beyond the trust ownership are not published.

This specific A320neo-series airframe carries a high-density single-class economy cabin layout typical for Spirit, fitted with approximately 190 slimline seats optimized for high-capacity short- to medium-haul operations. Avionics and systems are those standard to the A320-271N variant, supporting typical cruise and performance parameters for the type; detailed line-fit avionics options for this serial are not published. Typical mission profiles for the aircraft’s configuration emphasize densely scheduled domestic and transcontinental routes within the aircraft’s 3,400 nm capability at a cruise speed near 470 kts, operating up to a service ceiling of 41,000 ft. Maintenance considerations focus on the geared turbofan PW1127G family engines and the A320neo airframe commonality, with trust-held ownership potentially affecting lease and maintenance records access.

The Airbus A320-271N sits in the A320neo family niche, offering fuel-efficient single-aisle performance and higher seat density for low-cost carriers and high-utilization operators. Competitors include re-engined variants of the Boeing 737 family and other modern narrowbodies in the 150–200 seat class. Demand among carriers and lessors tends to favor recent-build neos, and resale or lease prospects for a 2018 airframe like 8038 are strengthened by its PW1127G powerplants and high-density 190-seat fit; however, ownership held via Wilmington Trust Co Trustee can introduce additional administrative considerations during sale, lease, or repossession events.
