N439AN

This airframe, registered as N439AN, is an Airbus-built narrowbody completed in 2021 with manufacturer serial number 10623. The airframe type is an Airbus A321-253NX produced by Airbus and is registered in the US. The airframe is held by the corporate owner BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, located in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and it is configured and operated in a high-density mainline role by American Airlines. Routine registry entries and operator configuration reflect a standard leasing/owner trust arrangement common to modern narrowbody fleets; specific valuation or condition reports are not published.

The aircraft is outfitted in a mainline single-aisle, high-density 222-seat configuration for American Airlines, optimized for high-capacity short- to medium-haul networks. With the two CFM LEAP-1A33 engines and a certified cruise of 450 kts, the airframe is typically employed on transcontinental and dense domestic trunk routes within the operator’s network, leveraging a maximum range of 4,000 nm for extended thin long-range sectors when scheduled. Cabin and maintenance arrangements reflect the high-utilization model: tight seat pitch and galley/door layouts consistent with high-density operations and routine heavy-check intervals aligned with operator maintenance programs. Avionics and interior specifics beyond fleet-standard equipment are not published for this specific tail.

The Airbus A321-253NX belongs to the A320neo family and occupies the high-capacity, longer-range single-aisle niche, offering improved fuel efficiency and lower trip costs relative to prior-generation twins. With LEAP-1A33 thrust ratings and a 4,000 nm capability, it competes with high-density variants of Boeing’s 737 MAX family for airlines seeking single-aisle transcontinental and thin long-haul flexibility. Buyer and leasing demand remains strong for late-production, low-cycle A321neo-series frames; maintenance and resale considerations center on engine-shop visit timing for the CFM LEAP-1A33 and the aircraft’s high-density interior wear under intensive short-haul rotations.
