N918NK

This airframe, registered as N918NK, is an Airbus A320-271N built in 2019 with manufacturer serial number 9259. The airframe is recorded as owned by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and is registered in the US. Valuation records list the aircraft at approximately $55,000,000, reflecting a late-2010s narrowbody in current market condition for its family; no additional operator or lease history is published here.

The subject airframe is outfitted in a high-density single-class economy layout, carrying approximately 190 slimline seats suitable for high-capacity short- to medium-haul rotations. Its flight deck conforms to the Airbus A320 family digital avionics suite, providing common-type pilot interfaces and systems characteristic of modern Airbus narrowbodies. With a listed cruise speed of 470 kts and a range near 3,400 nm, the aircraft is well suited to dense point-to-point domestic and regional schedules or high-utilization charter operations under corporate ownership arrangements; specific operator base or routing assignments are not published. Maintenance considerations typical to this configuration include GTF-related engine servicing cycles for the IAE PW1127G-JM units and high-utilization cabin wear management associated with a high-density seating fit.

The Airbus A320-271N variant, embodied here by serial 9259, occupies the competitive single-aisle market niche for airlines and lessors seeking improved fuel efficiency and capacity over previous A320ceo models. Equipped with two IAE PW1127G-JM engines producing 26,345 lbf each, it competes with comparable 150–190 seat narrowbodies from rival manufacturers and engine family offerings. Resale and lease demand for late-2010s A320neo family examples remains strong in markets needing high-density capability, though prospective buyers and lessees factor in engine maintenance schedules, interior refurbishment if converting cabin density, and the aircraft’s recorded valuation of $55,000,000.
