N942NK

This airframe, registered as N942NK, is an Airbus A320neo variant built in 2021 with manufacturer serial number 10328. The airframe is an Airbus A320-271N (A320neo) and carries United States registration with ownership recorded to BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee located in Salt Lake City, UT, US. Registry records list the airframe as a corporate-owned asset and its valuation is approximately $55,000,000, reflecting a recent-production narrowbody in common commercial configuration. Notable registry and ownership entries emphasize corporate trustee ownership rather than airline operational title, which can affect commercial deployment and leasing arrangements.

The installed cabin reflects a one-class high-density Spirit Airlines–style layout with Big Front premium rows forward and the remainder in economy; carrier-specific seat counts may vary by subvariant and configuration but the published cabin description for this airframe follows the Spirit layout. As delivered, the aircraft is powered by Pratt & Whitney geared turbofan engines that support typical short- to medium-haul airline missions; the listed cruise and range figures align with high-frequency transcontinental and regional trunk routes. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on PW1127G-JM engine support and A320neo-type airframe commonality, while corporate trustee ownership can influence scheduling of heavy maintenance events and the selection of line stations for upkeep. Avionics fit is consistent with the A320neo family standard complement, supporting modern airline operational requirements.

The Airbus A320-271N (A320neo) occupies the single-aisle medium-haul market niche, offering improved fuel burn and range over legacy A320ceo models and competing principally with the Boeing 737 MAX series. With a range of 3,400 nm and cruise near 470 kts, the type suits dense short-haul networks and longer thin transcontinental sectors favored by low-cost carriers and leasing companies. Market demand for late-build A320neo airframes remains strong for operators seeking fuel-efficient narrowbodies; resale and lease considerations for this airframe will reflect its 2021 manufacture, corporate trust ownership, PW1127G-JM engine configuration, and documented valuation of $55,000,000.
