Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N442AN, is an Airbus A321-253NX built in 2022 with manufacturer serial number 10711. Ownership is recorded as American Airlines Inc (a corporation based in Fort Worth, TX, US) and the aircraft carries a US registration. No notable registry actions or transfers have been published for this serial within the provided data. Condition and valuation details are not published in the supplied dataset.

As registered to American Airlines Inc in Fort Worth, TX, N442AN is configured as a single-aisle, high-density transport with 222 seats consistent with airline mainline short- to medium-haul and transcontinental operations enabled by a 4,000 nm range. The airframe’s twin CFM International LEAP-1A turbofan installation supports typical cruise operations at 473 kts and a service ceiling near 41,000 ft, factors that inform route planning, payload-range tradeoffs and maintenance scheduling. Specific avionics fit, cabin class breakdown, and unique onboard amenities for this individual airframe are not published in the provided data.

The Airbus A321-253NX designation places this airframe within Airbus's A320neo family niche as a narrow-body, fixed-wing type optimized for higher-capacity single-aisle operations and extended range relative to legacy single-aisle variants. With 222 seats and a declared ferry/operational range of 4,000 nm, this configuration targets airlines seeking dense seating and extended stage lengths without widebody economics. The use of CFM International LEAP-1A engines factors into operator maintenance planning and aftermarket demand dynamics, as engine shop visits and lifecycle considerations are central to mid-life acquisition and resale valuation.
