N962AV

This airframe, registration N962AV, is an Airbus-built narrowbody delivered in 2022 with manufacturer serial number 10781. The aircraft is an Airbus A320-251N and is owned by Avianca S.A., a corporate owner based in Bogotá, Colombia, while carrying a US registration. The record for this specific airframe is notable for its recent build year and corporate ownership structure, indicating a modern, low-cycle example operated within an international airline group; ownership has been held by a corporate operator located in Bogotá.

The cabin of this specific A320-251N is configured C12Y168, providing 12 Business / 168 Economy seats for a total of 180 passenger positions. In operational terms, the airframe’s combination of a 3,400 nm range and a cruise speed near 447 kts positions it for short- to medium-haul trunk and regional international missions within a typical airline network. As a late-build 2022 model fitted with two CFM International LEAP-1A engines rated at 27,000 lbf each, maintenance considerations for this airframe will follow manufacturer and operator programs appropriate to the A320neo family engines and systems, and the airframe’s relatively recent manufacture suggests a favorable short-term maintenance condition profile.

This airframe is a member of the Airbus A320neo family as identified by the model designation Airbus A320-251N, offering enhanced fuel efficiency and range relative to earlier narrowbody derivatives through contemporary engine technology. With a certified ceiling of 41,000 ft and a 3,400 nm nominal range, the type occupies a performance niche suitable for dense single-aisle operations demanding higher seating capacity—here presented as 180 seats. For buyers and fleet planners, a 2022-built airframe with a modern LEAP-1A propulsion installation typically implies competitive operational economics and resale potential relative to older generation equivalents, while maintenance and residual-value considerations will reflect the broader fleet prevalence and the specific cyclic and calendar condition of serial 10781.
