N990NK

This airframe, registered as N990NK, is an Airbus-built narrow-body delivered in 2024 carrying manufacturer's serial number 11859. It is an Airbus A320-271N acquired and held by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE (a corporate owner located in Salt Lake City, UT, US), a trustee-style corporate ownership that is noted in registry records. The aircraft bears United States registration (US) and is configured and maintained to a high-density layout consistent with its operator profile. Current title records list the aircraft under the trustee corporation in Salt Lake City, indicating financial-asset ownership rather than line-operation by the owner.

The airframe is outfitted in a high-density single-class cabin described as High-density single-class (approx. 190 seats) typical of the operator, implying a dense 180–190-seat layout commonly used for short- to medium-haul, high-frequency service. Typical mission profile for this configuration centers on high-capacity point-to-point routes within the aircraft’s 3,400 nm range and cruise speeds near 455 kts, optimizing block-hour productivity for tight turnaround schedules. Avionics and systems standard to the A320neo family apply for this serial, and maintenance considerations reflect the newer-generation Pratt & Whitney GTF-powered airframes’ scheduled engine maintenance regimes and associated support programs. Operator base and specific line operator identity are not published in the provided data.

As an Airbus A320-271N, this airframe belongs to the A320neo family targeting single-aisle short- to medium-haul markets where improved fuel burn and lower seat-mile costs are prioritized. With IAE PW1127GA-JM engines delivering 26,345 lbf thrust apiece, its performance niche competes directly with rival A320neo variants and Boeing 737 MAX equivalents in high-density carrier operations. Buyer demand tends to favor newer-production, high-density A320neos for low-cost carriers and high-frequency regional operators; resale and lease marketability benefits from the commonality of the A320 family, while maintenance, engine-support agreements, and asset-management structures (such as trust ownership) factor into lifecycle value and remarketing strategies.
