N955AV

This airframe, registered as N955AV, is a production Airbus A320-214 built in 2009 with manufacturer serial number 3835. The documented owner is WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE, a corporation based in Wilmington, DE, US, and the aircraft carries a US registration. No additional operator history or notable registry actions have been published for this specific airframe; the recorded ownership is trustee-held by the Wilmington, Delaware entity. The airframe is a standard two-engine A320 variant and, based on equipment and interior counts, appears configured for high-density passenger transport.

The cabin of this A320-214 is fitted for 180 passengers in a two-class layout with 12 business / 168 economy (180 total) seating, reflecting a mixed premium and high-density coach arrangement. Avionics fit and specific equipment lists are not published for this airframe. Typical mission profiles for an A320-214 of this configuration include short- to medium-haul scheduled services and charter operations across domestic and transcontinental routes within a 3,300 nm operational range; the airframe’s cruise speed of 467 kts and ceiling of 39,000 ft align with standard commercial jetliner cruise profiles. Maintenance considerations are consistent with an in-production A320 series aircraft powered by the CFM56-5B4, and trustee ownership may reflect financial, leasing, or collateral arrangements rather than direct airline operation.

The Airbus A320-214 belongs to the A320 family, a single-aisle, narrow-body line positioned for short- to medium-haul markets and high-frequency point-to-point operations. With twin CFM56-5B4 engines producing 27,000 lbf each, the type competes with single-aisle models such as the Boeing 737 family for airline and charter demand. Typical buyer considerations for this subvariant include seating density (here 180 seats), range and payload capabilities, and lifecycle costs tied to engine type and airframe age—this example’s 2009 build year places it in a mature mid-life maintenance phase for operators and lessors assessing resale or continued operational use.
