N122US 2000 Airbus A320-214

Overview

This airframe, registered as N122US, is an Airbus single-aisle built in 2000 with manufacturer serial number 1298. The airframe is recorded as owned by the corporation Bank of Utah Trustee located in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and carries a US registration. It is an Airbus A320-214 in a mainline high-density fit and is notable for being part of the A320 family production run around the turn of the century. No additional publicized operator transfer history or unusual registry actions are provided in the supplied data.

Operations & Cabin

The aircraft is configured in an operator mainline high-density single-aisle layout and is reported to carry 182 seats, reflecting a high-density passenger role typical of short- to medium-haul scheduled operations. The flight deck follows the Airbus A320 family standard, with EFIS, fly-by-wire controls, FMGS and TCAS providing the avionics suite required for modern air transport operations. Typical mission profiles for this configuration include high-frequency point-to-point routes and dense domestic or regional sectors where seating capacity and turnaround efficiency are priorities. Maintenance and operational considerations for this specific airframe would follow standard A320 practices for CFM56-5B-equipped aircraft, with life-limited components and overhaul cycles aligned to operator utilization; no unique cabin amenities or special modifications are reported in the provided data.

Model & Market Context

The Airbus A320-214 sits in the single-aisle narrowbody niche offering around 3,150 nm range and cruise speeds near 458 kts, competing directly with contemporaneous variants of the Boeing 737 family. Demand in the used market typically favors well-maintained, high-density-configured examples for low-cost carriers or high-capacity charters, while resale and maintenance considerations hinge on engine cycle counts, structural checks, and avionics commonality; this airframe’s CFM56-5B powerplants and standard A320 flight deck support broad operator acceptance and parts commonality within the type.
