The aircraft is owned and operated by Spirit Airlines, Inc., a corporation based in Miramar, FL, US, and is registered in the US.

The airframe is equipped with the Airbus A320 family flight deck, reflecting the standard A320 avionics suite for pilot interface, navigation, and systems management on this sub-type. Typical mission profiles for this configuration emphasize dense passenger carriage and frequent rotations consistent with a low-cost carrier operational model based out of the owner’s Miramar, Florida base.
