N989NK

The airframe bearing tail number N989NK is an Airbus-built narrowbody completed in 2024 as a member of the A320neo family, designated Airbus A320-271N, serial number 11840. Ownership is recorded to the corporate trustee BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, headquartered in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and the airplane carries a US registration. Entered into service/ownership in 2024 under corporate trustee ownership, the airframe is configured and maintained as a high-utilization, high-density passenger jet and carries an estimated market value of $54,000,000 based on contemporary narrowbody valuations and its new-build status.

This specific A320-271N is outfitted in a high-density single-class cabin accommodating approximately 190 passengers, oriented toward short- to medium-haul, high-capacity operations. Typical mission profiles for the airframe encompass transcontinental and regional trunk routes that exploit the model’s 3,400 nm range and cruise speed near 447 kts, optimizing turnaround and seat-mile economics. Maintenance considerations reflect the twin PW1127GA-JM turbofan installation and new-build lifecycle support; as a corporate-owned asset domiciled in Salt Lake City, UT, US, operator or lessee choices and base maintenance arrangements are likely to follow US regulatory and line maintenance practices. No bespoke interior amenities are published beyond the high-density single-class configuration.

The Airbus A320-271N is positioned in the single-aisle medium-density market segment, delivering fuel-efficient operations and reduced per-seat costs relative to older A320ceo variants. Its competition includes updated versions of rival narrowbodies offering similar range and capacity; the A320neo family’s appeal to airlines and lessors is driven by improved economics, common-type pilot/crew benefits, and strong aftermarket demand. For this particular airframe—new in 2024 and valued at $54,000,000—resale and remarketing prospects are favorable, though they remain influenced by fleet commonality, engine choice (PW1127GA-JM), and prevailing market conditions for high-density passenger configurations.
