N205NV

Overview

The airframe bearing registration N205NV is an Airbus A320-214 built in 2013 with manufacturer serial number 5724. The airframe is recorded as owned by Umb Bank NA Trustee, a corporate trustee located in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and is registered in the US. Its construction specification places it in a high-density, single-class cabin build ordered for approximately 182 seats; the airframe has been maintained within conventional commercial operator standards and there are no widely reported unusual incidents or registry anomalies associated with this specific serial. As a trustee-owned asset, its administrative history reflects financial or leasing arrangements rather than direct operator ownership.

Operations & Cabin

The airframe is outfitted in a high-density single-class configuration (approximately 182 seats), optimized for short- to medium-haul, high-capacity operations. Typical mission profiles for this fit include domestic trunk routes and densely scheduled point-to-point services where seat density and turnaround efficiency are prioritized. Avionics and systems conform to the standard A320 family avionics suite for the -214 subvariant, supporting common airline operational practices such as two-pilot commercial crews and routine line maintenance; specific modifications or optional cabin amenities for this airframe are not published. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with fleet-standard CFM56-5B engine maintenance cycles and A320 airframe structural inspections, with life-limited components and shop visits driven by utilization and leasing/trustee requirements.

Model & Market Context

The Airbus A320-214 sits within the A320 family niche as a narrow-body, single-aisle airliner targeting short- to medium-range markets with high seat counts and low per-seat costs. It competes directly with contemporary narrow-bodies such as the Boeing 737 family in airline fleets focused on dense domestic rotations. Buyer and charter demand for high-density A320s remains strong where seat-mile economics are prioritized, while maintenance and resale considerations emphasize CFM56 engine lifecycle status, airframe utilization, and cabin configuration when assessing market value and remarketing prospects.
