Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N537VL, is an Airbus-built narrow-body delivered in 2018 with manufacturer serial number 8144. The type is recorded as the Airbus A321-271N (A321neo) and the aircraft carries a United States registration. Ownership is held by Wilmington Trust Co Trustee, a corporate trustee located in Wilmington, DE, US, and the airframe’s custodial status is notable as a trust-held asset rather than an airline-owned airframe. The record indicates corporate trust ownership without publicly listed operator changes, and registry details are consistent with continued US registration and asset-holding practices common for lessor or trustee-managed airliners.
The cabin for this specific airframe is in a high-density single-class layout configured to 222 seats in a Volaris configuration, indicating a dense seating arrangement optimized for short- to medium-haul, high-capacity operations. Avionics and systems are those standard to the A321neo family as delivered in 2018, and maintenance considerations follow the twin‑engine, high-cycle usage profile expected of high-density carriers. Typical mission profiles for this configuration would emphasize high-frequency, short- to medium-range routes within the aircraft’s 4,000 nm capability, operated from US registration bases; unique amenities are not specified beyond the high-density layout and the common A321neo cabin environment.
The Airbus A321-271N (A321neo) sits in the single-aisle, high-capacity niche of the A320neo family, offering extended range and improved fuel efficiency versus previous-generation A321ceo models. With IAE PW1133G-JM engines rated at 33,110 lbf each and a 4,000 nm range, the type competes with stretched narrow‑body variants from rival manufacturers for dense short‑to‑medium haul markets. For trust-owned airframes like N537VL, buyer and lessee demand centers on low-cost carriers seeking high-density seating; maintenance and resale considerations emphasize the high-utilization cabin layout and the engine/airframe hour/cycle history typical of 2018-delivered neo family aircraft.
