N926NK

This airframe, registered as N926NK, is an Airbus narrow-body identified as an Airbus A320-271N with manufacturer serial number 9482 and built in 2019. It is owned by Spirit Airlines, Inc. (a corporate owner based in Miramar, FL, US) and is carried on the United States registry. The airframe's operator/home base aligns with its owner’s Miramar location and it is recorded in fleet listings as operating in a high-density configuration. Delivered to Spirit Airlines in 2019, the airframe’s configuration and registry status reflect its role within a low-cost carrier fleet rather than as a specialized or VIP installation.

The aircraft operates in a high-density single-class Spirit layout; fleet listings report 182 seats presented as an unusual mix described as 8 'Business' / 174 Economy style configuration on this airframe, reflecting airline marketing labels applied to a dense cabin. Typical mission profiles for this configuration emphasize short- to medium-haul point-to-point routes within the carrier’s network, leveraging the type’s advertised cruise speed of 450 kts and a range of 3,450 nm to support transcontinental and regional sectors. Avionics fit and specific fitments are consistent with the A320neo family standard for airline service; maintenance considerations focus on in-service support for the geared turbofan PW1127G-JM engines and high-utilization cabin turnarounds common to low-cost carriers.

The Airbus A320-271N belongs to the A320neo family, positioned as a single-aisle, fuel-efficient workhorse for dense short- and medium-haul operations, with the PW1127G-JM geared turbofan offering improved fuel burn relative to prior-generation thrustplants. Competing models include refreshed versions of the Boeing 737 MAX family in similar seating and range roles. For buyers and lessors, considerations tied to this airframe include the high-density 182-seat interior, airline-specific branding and maintenance history, and strong market demand for in-service neo-family single-aisle types used by low-cost carriers.
