Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N287AY, is an Airbus-built widebody completed in 2013 with manufacturer's serial number 1417. The airframe is an Airbus A330-243 and is owned by Jetran (type: corporation); corporate location is not published. The aircraft bears a US registration and underwent a notable cabin reconfiguration in December 2017 from its original layout to a higher-density arrangement. Valuation and detailed condition reports are not published.
Originally delivered with a cabin listed as C20Y238, the airframe was reconfigured after December 2017 to C20W21Y206 (approx. 247 seats), shifting from a two-class-plus-economy layout to a higher-density configuration that includes a small premium/lie-flat component alongside a majority economy arrangement. The aircraft’s long-range capability (over 8,000 nm) and 470-knot cruise make it suitable for extended international sectors and transoceanic services; specific typical routes and the regular operator/home base are not published. Maintenance considerations for this particular airframe align with twin-engine widebody practices and the installed Rolls-Royce Trent 772B-60 powerplants, which have specific shop visit and life-limited part profiles managed under manufacturer and engine program guidance.
The Airbus A330-243 is part of the A330 family, positioned as a medium- to long-range twinjet that balances capacity (in this case ~247 seats) with fuel efficiency for non-ultra-long missions. It competes in the market against similar widebodies offering twin-engine long-range capability, such as earlier variants of the Boeing 767/787 family depending on configuration and range requirements. Demand from buyers and charter operators tends to favor well-maintained, reconfigured frames for dense long-haul services; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe specifically hinge on engine program status, the post-2017 cabin modification, and its US registry status.
