Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N24542, is an Airbus A321-271NX built in 2025 with manufacturer serial number 12533. The aircraft is recorded as owned by United Air Lines, Inc. (a corporation headquartered in Chicago, IL, United States) and carries a United States registration (US). As a single-airframe summary, its administrative history is limited to corporate ownership and standard U.S. registry listing; no prior owners or major registry transfers are publicly recorded for this serial in the provided data. Condition and valuation highlights specific to this airframe are not published beyond its new-build status and operator ownership.
As delivered to a major U.S. carrier, this Airbus A321-271NX would typically be configured for single-aisle short- to medium-haul mainline operations, serving domestic and transcontinental routes within its 3,500 nm range. Cabin layout and seating counts are not specified for this serial, but operator practices suggest mixed economy and premium sections appropriate for United Air Lines’ route structure based from its Chicago-area hub operations. Avionics and systems would reflect Airbus A321neo family standards; any operator-specific modifications or retrofit programs for this airframe are not listed in the supplied data. Maintenance considerations follow fleet-common practices for LEAP-1A and PW1100G-equipped variants, including engine-specific shop visit scheduling and OEM support pathways.
The Airbus A321-271NX occupies the single-aisle, high-capacity, extended-range niche within the A320neo family, offering transcontinental capability at mainline cruise speeds near 470 kts and a service ceiling of 39,000 ft. It competes with stretched narrowbodies from the competing manufacturer and appeals to airlines seeking a balance of range (3,500 nm) and passenger capacity under a common-type fleet strategy. Market considerations for this serial include engine choice implications on maintenance cycles and resale desirability, with both the CFM LEAP-1A and Pratt & Whitney PW1100G powerplants representing distinct support and lifecycle-cost profiles.
