N983NK

This airframe, registered as N983NK, is an Airbus A320-271N manufactured by Airbus with a build year of 2023 and manufacturer serial number 11511. The certificate of registry lists the owner as Aircraft Leasing & Management (ALM) / Fuyo General Lease, a corporation (lessor) based in Tokyo, Japan, and the aircraft carries a US registration. The configuration and description align this specific airframe with high-density, low-cost carrier operations, and its recent build year indicates it entered service in the current generation of A320neo deliveries. Ownership is recorded to a Tokyo-based lessor, consistent with common leasing arrangements for narrowbody neo-series aircraft.

The cabin of this aircraft is fitted in a high-density single-class all-economy layout consistent with a Spirit Airlines typical A320neo layout, emphasizing maximum seat count and minimal premium accommodations. Typical mission profiles for this fit include short- to medium-haul point-to-point leisure and low-cost domestic services where high seat density and quick turnarounds are prioritized. As a 2023-build A320neo with PW1127G-JM geared turbofan engines, the airframe benefits from the neo-series fuel-efficiency improvements and attendant maintenance scheduling typical for new-delivery leased narrowbodies. Operator-specific equipment and interior finish levels follow the lessee’s standard low-cost carrier specification rather than bespoke corporate fitments.

The Airbus A320-271N sits in the A320neo family niche, offering increased fuel efficiency and range versus previous A320ceo variants while serving dense short- to medium-haul markets. With PW1127G-JM engines and a 3,750 nm range at 450 kts cruise, it competes directly with single-aisle types such as the Boeing 737-8/MAX series for airline replacement and growth orders. Buyer and lessor demand for neo-family A320s remains strong for high-utilization low-cost and network carriers; resale and lease considerations for this airframe will reflect its new-build status, modern engines, and the high-density interior specification used by value carriers.
