Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered N122NN, is an Airbus A321-231 built in 2014 with manufacturer serial number 6252. The aircraft is owned by American Airlines, Inc. (a corporation based in the United States) and carries a US registration in commercial airline service. As a fixed-wing multi-engine airliner, the airframe is configured for mainstream narrow‑body operations and is recorded with an estimated market value of $38,000,000. The combination of build year, serial, and corporate ownership identifies it as a line aircraft retained within a major U.S. carrier’s fleet.
The cabin for this specific aircraft is laid out as C20Y170 (approximately 20 premium seats and 170 economy seats), supporting a single-aisle, high-density two‑class configuration typical for short‑to‑medium haul revenue missions. Power is provided by twin IAE turbofan units from the V2500 family (noted on this airframe as IAE V2533), supporting the aircraft’s performance envelope and permitting typical cruise and ceiling performance as specified. Registered and operated under US registry and corporate ownership, maintenance and operational oversight are managed to align with standard airline practices for a 2014-build A321 in a large carrier fleet. The airframe’s valuation and seat capacity reflect its intended use in high-frequency trunk and network flying.
The Airbus A321-231 sits within the A320 family as a stretched, higher-capacity model that targets routes requiring greater seat count without stepping up to widebody equipment; this example’s 190-seat, C20Y170 layout underlines that niche. Equipped with engines in the IAE V2500 family (V2533), the type competes in the single-aisle market where range (3,200 nm) and cruise speed (447 kts) support medium‑range city pairs. For buyers and lease operators, considerations informed by this data point set include age (2014), configuration density, and a market value near $38,000,000, all of which influence resale and fleet assignment decisions.
