N969NK

This airframe, registered as N969NK, is an Airbus A320-271N built by Airbus S.A.S. in 2022 with manufacturer's serial number 11152. The aircraft is owned by ACG Aviation Capital Group, a corporate lessor based in the United States, and is registered in the US. The documentation for this specific airframe reflects a contemporary narrow-body single-aisle configuration delivered during a period of active fleet renewal; ownership remained with the corporate lessor following manufacture. No operator change or notable registry incident is recorded in the supplied data.

The cabin of N969NK is configured with 182 seats, arranged as 8 Big Front (premium) + 174 economy (Spirit single-class layout), reflecting a high-density, mixed premium/economy fit tailored for a leisure and short-to-medium-haul network. Typical mission profiles for this configuration emphasize transcontinental and regional international trunk routes within the aircraft’s 3,400 nm range and are consistent with operations that prioritize high seat counts and quick turnarounds. Avionics and systems specifics are not supplied here, but the airframe’s PW1127G-JM geared turbofan engines support improved fuel efficiency and lower noise signatures relative to older A320 variants, with associated maintenance considerations tied to GTF engine type support networks. As a lessor-owned asset, scheduled heavy maintenance and lease-end checks are likely managed under the owner’s asset management program.

The Airbus A320-271N belongs to the A320neo family, positioned to serve single-aisle short- to medium-range markets where fuel efficiency and per-seat economics are prioritized. Competing models include narrow-body offerings such as the Boeing 737 MAX family and other neo/LEAP-equipped variants; the GTF-equipped PW1127G-JM gives this airframe a competitive operating cost profile. Buyer and charter demand generally favors such neo-family types for replacement and growth fleets, while resale and leasing considerations hinge on engine maintenance status, cabin configuration (the high-density Spirit-style layout here), and the broader secondhand market timing.
