N133AN

This airframe, registered as N133AN, is an Airbus A321-231 built in 2015 with manufacturer serial number 6482. The aircraft is held by Wells Fargo Trust Co NA, Trustee (registered owner); operated by American Airlines, Inc., a corporation/trust based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and carries a US registration. The arrangement reflects a typical trustee-registered ownership with a major carrier operator rather than direct airline registry. Recorded valuation for the airframe is $43,000,000, reflecting the market for late-model A321 narrowbodies; public registry actions beyond the ownership structure are not published.

The cabin of this specific A321-231 is laid out for 190 passengers with a two-class split of 20 Business / 170 Economy. Avionics fit and specific onboard configurations beyond the seat counts are not published for this registration, but the aircraft’s profile supports medium- to long thin high-density routes within the 3,200 nm range and typical cruise at 450 kts. Operated by American Airlines from its established network bases, the airframe is likely employed on domestic transcontinental and near-international missions consistent with the A321 family’s mission profile. Maintenance considerations follow Airbus and IAE V2533-A5 engine programme requirements; the trustee-registered ownership can influence lease, maintenance control, and repossession procedures under commercial operating agreements.

The Airbus A321-231, represented here by serial 6482, sits in the single-aisle high-capacity niche providing extended range and higher seat counts relative to smaller single-aisle types. Its twin IAE V2533-A5 engines delivering 33,000 lbf each offer the thrust to support the 39,000 ft ceiling and transcontinental sector capability. Competing models in the market include other stretched single-aisles and re-engined derivatives; resale and remarketing value for a 2015 A321 with the stated configuration is reflected in the noted $43,000,000 valuation and is sensitive to engine programme status, cabin configuration, and lease/ownership arrangements.
