Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N965AV, is an Airbus A320-251N built by Airbus in 2022 with manufacturer serial number 11140. The airframe is owned by AerCap (a corporation based in Dublin, Ireland) and carries a US registration; it is recorded in AerCap’s leasing portfolio as a late-production A320neo-series example. Operator and home base details are not published in the supplied record. No specific valuation or recent condition inspection notes are provided in the available data.
The airframe is a fixed-wing multi-engine narrowbody in the A320neo family intended for short- to medium-haul trunk routes, typically deployed on transcontinental and regional sectors up to its range limit. Cabin layout and seat count for this specific aircraft are not published in the provided data; however, A320-251N examples are commonly configured in two-class or high-density single-class arrangements depending on lessee requirements. Avionics fit is consistent with the A320neo line, supporting modern flight-deck systems and fuel-efficient operations driven by LEAP engines; specific retrofits or interior modifications for N965AV are not listed. Maintenance considerations follow fleet-standard A-check and C-check cycles under AerCap’s asset management protocols, with component and engine care influenced by the CFM LEAP-1A26’s shop visit schedules.
The Airbus A320-251N sits in the high-demand single-aisle narrowbody niche, offering increased fuel efficiency and range over prior A320ceo variants. Competing models include latest-generation single-aisles such as the Boeing 737 MAX family; airlines and lessors value the A320neo series for strong residual demand and favorable operating economics. For lessors like AerCap, maintenance provenance, engine shop visit status, and US registration can materially affect lease rates and remarketing timelines for an A320-251N such as N965AV.
