N943AV

The airframe bearing tail number N943AV is an Airbus-built single-aisle registered in the United States, assigned manufacturer serial number 11459 and completed in 2023. This aircraft is an example of the Airbus A320neo family, listed as Airbus A320-251N, and is held in trust by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE (a trust with a corporate trustee) based in Salt Lake City, UT. The airframe is powered by modern LEAP engines and configured for 180 passengers; its U.S. registration and trust ownership are the principal recorded legal and custodial facts for this specific airframe. Ownership is recorded to a Salt Lake City trust (corporate trustee) rather than to an airline operating entity, which can influence commercial deployment and leasing arrangements.

The aircraft cabin is laid out with 12 business / 168 economy (180 total) seating, reflecting a high-density single-aisle passenger role suitable for short- to medium-haul and transcontinental sectors within its 3,400 nm capability. While specific operator or line maintenance providers are not published, custody by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE suggests the airframe may be placed with a commercial operator or lessor under an operating agreement rather than operated directly by the trustee. The twin CFM International LEAP-1A26 engines deliver modern fuel-burn characteristics and entail contemporary maintenance practices and shop visit planning typical for LEAP-equipped A320neos, affecting operational availability and ownership costs for this particular airframe.

As an Airbus A320-251N completed in 2023, this airframe sits within the A320neo family niche of single-aisle, medium-range transports offering around 180 seats and a cruise of 447 kts out to 3,400 nm. The specific configuration and new-build year enhance its attractiveness to carriers seeking fuel-efficient, high-density narrowbody capacity. Maintenance, resale and lease considerations for this airframe will be shaped by its modern LEAP engines, recent manufacturing date, and the trust-based ownership structure, which can simplify transfer or lease arrangements while concentrating title and financial oversight within the trustee entity.
