Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N401AN, is an Airbus A321-253NX built in 2019 with manufacturer serial number 8701. The aircraft is owned by the corporate trustee Bank Of Utah Trustee, recorded as a corporate owner in the US registry. The type is a single-aisle, narrow-body Airbus from the A321neo family fitted with the operator's layout of approximately 196 seats; no public record of additional operators or transfers beyond the recorded trustee ownership is provided in the supplied data. The aircraft is registered in the US, and its equipment and configuration reflect entry-into-service standards for a late-2010s A321neo derivative.
The cabin on this specific aircraft is configured in an operator layout of approximately Business 20 / Economy Comfort 35 / Economy 141 (196 total), indicating a three-class or premium/economy-dense mixed arrangement tailored for short- to medium-haul missions. With two CFM LEAP-1A33 turbofans, the airframe is optimized for improved fuel efficiency and lower noise compared with earlier generation A321ceo models, supporting typical network use such as higher-density trunk routes and transcontinental services within the listed range. Avionics fit and specific operator modifications are not published in the supplied data; maintenance considerations for this airframe would follow Airbus A321NX standard practices for LEAP-engined variants. The trustee ownership suggests the aircraft may be held for leasing, finance, or collateral purposes rather than direct airline operation in the name of the trustee.
The Airbus A321-253NX is part of Airbus’s A321neo family, designed to serve a market niche demanding greater seating capacity and range than the A320 variants while retaining single-aisle operating economics. With a maximum range of 2,928 nm and a 196-seat operator layout, this airframe competes with high-capacity variants of the Boeing 737 MAX family on short- to medium-haul dense routes. Buyer and charter demand for A321neo variants has been strong, driven by fuel-efficient LEAP engines and commonality with the A320 family; resale and maintenance considerations center on engine shop visits for the LEAP-1A33 and airframe checks typical for sub-fleet aircraft from the 2019 production cohort.
