N946AV

The airframe bearing tail number N946AV is an Airbus A320-214 built in 2011 with manufacturer serial number 4924. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is recorded as owned by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee located in Salt Lake City, UT, US. Registry entries list a high-density single-class passenger configuration of 182 seats; operator and regular home base are not published in the available registry data. Valuation and detailed condition reports are not published for this specific airframe, and there are no publicly recorded notable registry actions beyond the current ownership entry.

This airframe is configured in a high-density single-class passenger layout reflecting a 182-seat cabin as listed in the registry, consistent with short- to medium-haul airline use. The A320-214 typically carries avionics and operational equipment suited to single-aisle commercial operations; specific avionics fit for this serial is not published. With a cruise speed of 450 kts and a maximum practical ceiling of 39,000 ft, the aircraft is optimised for domestic and regional trunk routes spanning up to 3,300 nm, frequently serving high-frequency point-to-point or short international sectors. Maintenance considerations would follow standard Airbus A320 family schedules and CFM56-5B engine programs; any airframe-specific maintenance history or unique cabin amenities for N946AV are not published.

The Airbus A320-214 belongs to the A320ceo family, occupying the single-aisle narrowbody niche for short- to medium-range operations and competing directly with variants of the Boeing 737 family. With twin CFM56-5B4/3 engines and a high-density 182-seat layout, this configuration targets operators requiring high seat count per flight and efficient block-hour economics. Market demand for such airframes is driven by replacement needs, lease returns, and carrier capacity strategies; resale and maintenance considerations hinge on engine shop visits, frame fatigue life, and interior refurbishment to meet contemporary passenger expectations.
