N938NK

This airframe, registered as N938NK, is an Airbus-built narrowbody delivered in 2021 with manufacturer serial number 10402. The aircraft is a member of the Airbus A320neo subfamily and is recorded as owned by WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE, a corporation based in Wilmington, DE, US, on the US registry. Operator information and home base are not published in the supplied data; registry details identify it as a US-registered fixed-wing multi-engine transport. Notable administrative detail: the aircraft’s corporate trustee ownership is recorded as held by WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE, which can influence leasing, title monitoring and remarketing workflows.

The cabin is configured in a high-density single-class layout described as Spirit Airlines-style, with approximately 190 slim-line economy seats optimized for short- to medium-haul, high-utilization point-to-point operations. The flight deck is an Airbus A320 standard fit featuring digital EFIS and the manufacturer’s A320 avionics suite, supporting common pilot type-rating and airline procedures across the family. Typical missions for this airframe include domestic and near-international routes within its 3,400 nm range at cruise speeds near 450 kts, operating up to a service ceiling of 41,000 ft. High-density seating and frequent short sectors will tend to increase cabin wear and turnaround-driven maintenance demands compared with lower-density configurations.

The airframe is an Airbus A320-271N, positioning it in the A320neo family that targets airlines seeking improved fuel efficiency and lower operating cost per seat versus legacy narrowbodies. With PW1127G-JM geared turbofan engines, the type competes in the single-aisle market against contemporary Boeing 737 variants and other A320neo engine options; engine choice affects maintenance pools, spares availability and resale comparability. High-density, single-class examples like this airframe are attractive to low-cost carriers for their seating economics but can be less desirable in the wide-boreleisure or network carrier secondary market, influencing remarketing timelines and valuation dynamics.
