The aircraft is owned and operated by Allegiant Air, a United States-based corporation, and has remained on the U.S. registry since completion.

Notable registry particulars include its U.S. registration and continuous corporate ownership with Allegiant Air since delivery.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin of N206NV is outfitted in a 186-seat single-class high-density economy layout consistent with Allegiant Air’s leisure-focused route network, maximizing seat count for point-to-point low-cost operations. Avionics and systems fit are standard for the Airbus A320-214 family, supporting typical short- to medium-range cruise profiles and frequent daily sectors. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include high-density scheduled and charter services within the continental United States and to nearby international destinations within its 3,300 nm range. Maintenance considerations for this particular aircraft reflect the heavy-utilization pattern of its operator, emphasizing regular line maintenance and C-check cycles aligned with the A320 family maintenance program.

Model & Market Context

The Airbus A320-214 to which N206NV belongs is positioned in the single-aisle narrowbody market as a workhorse for high-frequency, short- and medium-haul operations, offering a cruise speed of 447 kts and a service ceiling of 39,000 ft. Competing models in its class include later A320 variants and the Boeing 737 family; buyers and lessors typically evaluate such airframes on seating density, engine choice (CFM56-5B4/P), and remaining structural and component life. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe are influenced by its high-density 186-seat layout and operator usage profile, which can affect market appeal to carriers seeking either high-capacity configurations or those requiring interior reconfiguration.
