N941NK

This airframe, registered N941NK, is an Airbus A320-271N built in 2021 with manufacturer serial number 10449. The airframe is held by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a corporation based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, reflecting a trustee ownership arrangement rather than direct airline registry. The aircraft carries a United States registration and has been associated with financial trust ownership rather than a long-term operator on public records. Operator or home-base details are Not published. Notable registry actions include its entry into the US registry under trustee ownership; valuation and current condition highlights are Not published.

This specific Airbus A320-271N is fitted for high-density operations consistent with lease or short-haul low-cost carrier missions; while the registered seat count is 190, the type is commonly installed in a Spirit-style one-class high-density layout typically described as 182 seats (8 Big Front + 174 Deluxe Leather), with carrier-specific variants also possible. Avionics and systems conform to the A320neo family standard, centered on common flightdeck architecture and upgraded engine/efficiency features driven by the PW1127G-JM powerplants. Typical mission profiles for this airframe type are medium-range high-frequency trunk and point-to-point services within continental ranges up to the listed 3,400 nm, operating from low- to high-utilization bases; specific operator route deployments for N941NK are Not published. Maintenance considerations include the geared turbofan engine family common on the neo series and the airframe’s high-density cabin wear patterns when used in ultra-short turn operations.

The Airbus A320-271N sits within the A320neo family targeting single-aisle medium-range markets where fuel efficiency and reduced emissions are priorities. With PW1127G-JM engines it occupies a competitive niche against competing subtypes of the A320neo and rival Boeing 737 MAX variants, offering similar range and cruise performance for dense short-to-medium sectors. Buyer and lessor demand favors high-utilization configurations like the one associated with this aircraft, while resale and teardown considerations reflect neo-series commonality, engine aftermarket support, and cabin-density impacts on residual value.
