Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N296JM, is an Airbus A380-841 built in 2011 with manufacturer serial number 036. The aircraft is owned by JET MIDWEST INC, a Kansas City, Missouri–based corporation, and carries a United States registration. Originally delivered in an airline three‑class configuration, this airframe was later removed from active service and is currently stored and being parted for components, reflecting a significant change from its in-service status. Condition highlights note that while the airframe retains its original large‑capacity interior, its operational status is non‑active and its value is affected by component salvage and storage.
This specific A380 retained its original China Southern three‑class cabin layout (approximately F8 / C70 / Y428 = ~506 seats) prior to being taken out of service. Its long‑range capability and high cruise speed supported ultra‑long‑haul passenger operations typical of A380 operators, though the aircraft is not currently employed on scheduled routes. The owner, JET MIDWEST INC, is based in Kansas City, Missouri, and the airframe is listed on the U.S. registry; maintenance considerations for this unit have shifted from line maintenance to component removal and storage preservation. Unique operational notes for this airframe include its current disposition as a donor ship for spares rather than an active passenger or charter platform.
The Airbus A380-841 belongs to the A380 family, positioned as a very large, long‑range, double‑deck, widebody airliner intended for high‑capacity trunk routes. Its performance niche emphasized hub‑to‑hub operations and premium seat density, competing historically with high‑capacity variants such as the Boeing 747‑8 in select markets. Market demand for individual A380s has been constrained by changing airline fleet strategies and high operating costs; resale and remarketing of large airframes like this one are often complicated by their size, specific interior fits, and the economics of freighter or VVIP conversion. For this airframe, the presence of four Rolls‑Royce Trent 970 engines and its current role as a parted/stored asset further influence maintenance liabilities and residual value dynamics.
