N404AN

This airframe, registered as N404AN, is an Airbus A321-253NX built in 2019 with manufacturer serial number 8758. The aircraft is owned by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a corporation based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and carries a US registration. The airframe has been maintained to commercial operator standards and is associated with the American Airlines cabin configuration; it is held by a trustee ownership structure in Salt Lake City rather than direct airline ownership, a configuration that can affect lease and registry actions. No public record of major accidents or write-offs is included in the supplied data.

This specific A321-253NX is operated in the context of an American Airlines typical interior and is commonly found fitted in the carrier’s layout; the supplied cabin note indicates an American Airlines typical layout of 20 Business / 35 Economy Comfort / 141 Economy (196 total) where configured, implying that this airframe may be reconfigurable or has seen airline-standard cabin installations. The aircraft’s twin CFM LEAP-1A33 turbofans and 3,500 nm range position it for domestic and transcontinental missions at cruise speeds around 448 kts, operating from major U.S. hubs consistent with American Airlines route networks. Maintenance considerations for this airframe will follow Airbus A321neo-type schedules, with attention to LEAP engine-specific shop visit intervals and airframe tracking under the trustee ownership and U.S. registry.

The Airbus A321-253NX belongs to the A320neo family, optimized for single-aisle high-capacity, medium-range operations and offering improved fuel efficiency versus prior-generation A321ceo models. It competes with stretched single-aisle variants such as the Boeing 737 MAX 9/10 for airlines seeking a narrowbody aircraft with extended range and higher seat counts. Buyer and lease demand for NEO-family A321 variants remains strong for network carriers and lessors; resale and maintenance planning for this serial will reflect LEAP engine shop visit costs, interior reconfiguration potential (notably between the noted 222-seat and American-configured 196-seat arrangements), and effects of trustee ownership on remarketing.
