N960NK

The airframe bearing tail number N960NK is an Airbus A320-271N built in 2022 with manufacturer serial number 11002. The aircraft is registered in the US and is recorded as owned by the corporate trustee UMB BANK N A TRUSTEE, located in Salt Lake City, UT, US. There are no additional operator changes or lease assignments published in the provided data; ownership remains with the trustee entity as recorded. The airframe’s recent build year and new-generation engines indicate a relatively modern condition profile, suitable for high-utilization short- to medium-haul operations under its present corporate registration.

This specific A320-271N is outfitted in a high-density single-class cabin configured to Spirit Airlines’ standard A320neo layout with approximately 190 seats, emphasizing maximum revenue seat count rather than premium cabin amenities. Avionics and detailed fit—beyond model designation—are not published in the supplied data, but the aircraft’s mission profile is consistent with dense short- to transcontinental flights given its 3,500 nm range and 450 kt cruise speed. With corporate trustee ownership based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, typical utilization would be aligned with lessee scheduling or regional network insertion rather than exclusive corporate use. Maintenance considerations for this airframe will focus on the Pratt & Whitney PW1127G-JM geared turbofan lifecycle and high-cycle operations associated with a high-density seating layout.

As an Airbus A320neo-family derivative, the A320-271N represents the narrow-body, single-aisle performance niche prioritizing fuel-efficient short- to medium-haul operations and high-density passenger throughput. Competing models in the same market envelope include other A320neo variants and contemporary single-aisle types optimized for similar missions; buyer and leasing demand tends to favor examples with low cycles and modern engines like the PW1127G-JM. Resale and maintenance planning for this serial-built 2022 airframe (s/n 11002) will be influenced by operator configuration, engine maintenance status, and the aircraft’s high-density 190-seat layout when assessing marketability.
