Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N915NK, is an Airbus A320-271N (A320neo) build from 2018 with manufacturer serial number 7851. The airframe is recorded as owned by WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Wilmington, DE, US, and carries a United States registration (US). Operator details align with a high-density single-class deployment consistent with Spirit Airlines' typical configuration; ownership through a corporate trustee suggests financial or lease arrangements rather than direct airline ownership. No public record of notable incident history or major registry actions is provided in the supplied data.
The aircraft is outfitted in a high-density single-class cabin of approximately 190 seats, a layout typical for leisure and low-cost carrier operations emphasizing seat-mile economics. Avionics and systems conform to Airbus A320neo family standards (fly-by-wire controls and modern integrated flight decks), supporting typical short- to medium-haul point-to-point missions across domestic and near-international sectors within the aircraft’s 3,400 nm range. With PW1127G powerplants producing 26,345 lbf each, the airframe demonstrates the thrust and efficiency balance sought by low-cost operators. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would follow OEM A320neo schedules and engine shop visit planning for the PW1127GA-JM series; the trustee ownership structure can affect records access and lease-return condition requirements.
The Airbus A320-271N (A320neo) variant sits in the single-aisle, narrow-body performance niche focused on fuel efficiency and reduced operating cost versus prior-generation A320ceo models. It competes directly with modernized Boeing 737 MAX subvariants and other re-engined narrow-bodies for airline fleet renewals and growth. Demand among low-cost carriers remains strong for high-density A320neos due to favorable seat-mile economics and commonality with existing A320-family fleets. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe will hinge on lease status, engine cycles on the PW1127GA-JM units, and the condition at transfer stipulated by the trustee ownership arrangement.
