N3280J

This airframe, registered as N3280J, is an Airbus A220-300 (BD-500-1A11) bearing manufacturer serial number 3280 and built in 2025 by AIRBUS CANADA LP. The airframe is owned by JETBLUE AIRWAYS CORP, a corporation based in Long Island City, NY, US, and is registered under the US registry. The aircraft was delivered into JetBlue’s fleet in 2025 and is noted in records as entered service with JetBlue and registered in the United States. Valuation and detailed condition reports for this specific airframe are not published.

The cabin of this A220-300 is fitted in JetBlue’s single-class 140Y layout, marketed internally as the 'Y140' configuration, accommodating 140 passengers in a high-density economy arrangement. Avionics are specified as Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion, supporting modern flight-deck functionality, integrated displays and advanced navigation and communications suitable for both short- and medium-haul operations. With a maximum range of 3,400 nm and a cruise speed of 447 kts, the aircraft is typically utilized on domestic and transcontinental routes and can serve longer thin international sectors within its range capability. Maintenance and operational planning are conducted under JetBlue’s corporate base in Long Island City, NY, with routine support consistent with factory PW1524G engine maintenance programs and A220 airframe schedules.

The Airbus A220-300 (BD-500-1A11) occupies a niche for single-aisle, lower-capacity mainline operations, offering improved fuel efficiency and cabin comfort relative to older regional and small narrowbody types. With two Pratt & Whitney PW1524G engines delivering 23,300 lbf each, the type competes with newer-generation narrowbodies and high-capacity regional jets for airlines seeking lower seat-mile costs on thin long-range and dense short-haul routes. Demand among mainline carriers and low-cost operators is driven by the A220-300’s combination of range (3,400 nm), cruise performance (447 kts) and a 140-seat, single-class layout, while resale and maintenance considerations focus on engine support, avionics upgrades such as Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion, and airframe configuration standardization for fleet commonality.
