N942AV

This airframe, registered as N942AV, is an Airbus A320-251N (A320neo) built in 2023 with manufacturer serial number 11283. The aircraft is owned by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and is registered in the US; ownership is held in trust under a corporate trustee structure. No long-term operator assignment is published in the provided data, though the cabin configuration aligns with a typical major-carrier two-class layout, indicating lease or commercial airline operation is likely in its commercial lifecycle. Condition and valuation specifics are not published in the supplied dataset, but as a 2023-build A320neo the airframe would normally sit near-new in maintenance status and market value for its class.

This specific A320neo is fitted in a two-class layout described as C12 / Y168 (12 business, 168 economy), reflecting a typical Avianca-style configuration at approximately 180 seats. The configuration supports short- to medium-haul network operations and high-density single-aisle trunk routes, offering flexibility for both point-to-point and regional hub services. Avionics for the A320-251N family include modern fly-by-wire systems and common Airbus cockpit ergonomics, enabling pilot commonality with other A320-family types; no bespoke avionics or unique cabin amenities were specified for this airframe. Maintenance considerations for a 2023 A320neo typically focus on LEAP-1A engine care, routine airframe checks, and incorporation of warranty-era service provisions under owner/lessor arrangements.

The Airbus A320-251N (A320neo) occupies the single-aisle narrowbody performance niche with improved fuel burn and reduced noise compared to prior A320ceo variants, primarily competing with Boeing 737 MAX derivatives. With a 3,400 nm range and a cruise speed of 444 kts, this airframe suits airlines seeking efficient medium-range operations and dense short-haul rotations. Market demand favors late-production A320neo units for lease and operator fleets due to commonality, engine availability, and favorable resale prospects; maintenance and remarketing are influenced by engine-hours accumulation and the trustee ownership structure that can expedite lease transitions.
