N963NK

This airframe, registered as N963NK, is an Airbus-built narrowbody identified as an Airbus A320-271N with manufacturer serial number 11088 and build year 2022. Ownership is recorded to Spirit Airlines, Inc., a corporation based in Miramar, FL, US, and the aircraft appears on the US registry. Publicly available data for this specific airframe does not list prior owners or notable registry transactions beyond its current corporate ownership; no certified valuation or condition advisories are published in the supplied data. The aircraft's configuration and operator indicate it is maintained and operated within Spirit Airlines’ low-cost, high-density operating model.

This specific A320neo-series airframe is fitted in a high-density single-class cabin consistent with Spirit Airlines’ layout, accommodating approximately 190 seats. The configuration supports short- to medium-haul, high-frequency point-to-point service typical of low-cost carriers, where turnaround efficiency and seat density are prioritized. Avionics fit follows standard Airbus A320neo family installations (type-specific systems and flight decks), enabling cruise operations at about 430 kts and maximum operating ceilings near 39,800 ft. Maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect the PW1127G-JM geared turbofan type, which requires operator-aligned component support and engine shop visit planning as part of fleet-level heavy maintenance programs.

The Airbus A320-271N belongs to the A320neo family, offering improved fuel burn and range relative to earlier A320ceo variants, and competes directly with Boeing 737 MAX family variants in the single-aisle market. With a 3,400 nm range and high-density 190-seat layout, this aircraft targets dense domestic and transcontinental sectors for low-cost carriers. Market considerations for buyers and lessors include engine type (PW1127G-JM) supportability, residual value influenced by high-density configurations, and demand from carriers seeking low-cost, high-utilization single-aisle transports.
