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.
