N954AV

This airframe, registered in the United States as N954AV, is an Airbus-built A320 family jet constructed in 2008 with manufacturer serial number 3699. The aircraft is an Airbus A320-214 manufactured by Airbus and is recorded as owned by WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Wilmington, DE, US. The airframe carries US registration and its ownership record reflects trustee corporate ownership rather than an operating airline; registered to a corporate trustee rather than an airline operator. Operator or home base details are not published. Valuation and detailed condition reports are not published.

The specific cabin layout and seating configuration for this airframe are not published; as an A320-214 platform it would typically support single-aisle narrowbody configurations ranging from high-density single-class to mixed-class layouts. Avionics fit is not published for this serial but A320-214 variants typically feature Airbus integrated flight decks and standard A320-series avionics suites. Typical mission profiles for this type include short- to medium-haul scheduled or charter operations within the stated 3,300 nm range and cruise performance around 447 kts, though this particular aircraft’s usage appears non-operationally oriented in public records given trustee ownership. Maintenance considerations would follow A320-series practices, including CFM56 engine support and structural checks appropriate to a 2008-built airframe; specific maintenance records are not published.

The Airbus A320-214 sits in the single-aisle short- to medium-haul market, offering cruise speeds around 447 kts and service ceilings to 39,000 ft, competing with Boeing 737 Next Generation models in the same mission class. With CFM56-5B4/3 powerplants rated at 27,000 lbf each, operators value commonality and fuel efficiency for dense short-haul rotations. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2008 A320 include engine shop visits and airframe checks typical of mid-life narrowbodies; corporate trustee ownership can complicate direct operator transition due to title and leasing arrangements.
