N54552

This airframe, registered as N54552, is an Airbus A321-271NX built in 2025 with manufacturer serial number 12768. The aircraft is owned by WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Wilmington, DE, US, and carries a United States registration (US). Recorded ownership by the trustee upon completion in 2025 marks the primary documented change in the airframe's history; valuation and condition assessments place the type example at an estimated $60,000,000 at or near entry to service.

The cabin of this A321-271NX is configured in a two-class layout approximated as C20Y180, providing roughly 20 premium seats and 180 economy seats for a total of 246 passengers. Specific avionics fit and line maintenance records are not published in the supplied data; routine operator and maintenance activity would be conducted under US registry protocols. Typical mission profiles for this airframe, given its seating capacity and 4,000 nm range, include medium- to long-range narrowbody routes connecting high-density domestic and transcontinental city pairs, or thin transatlantic services when deployed by a suitable operator. As a trustee-owned asset, the aircraft may be placed into commercial service by third-party operators or leased arrangements, with common maintenance considerations for high-utilization narrowbodies—particularly management of the PW1133G-JM geared turbofan program and scheduled heavy checks.

The Airbus A321-271NX represented by serial 12768 sits within the A320neo family niche that emphasizes increased seat-mile efficiency and extended range versus legacy single-aisles. Competing models in the same market space include other A321neo variants and stretched narrowbodies from rival manufacturers offering similar seat counts and range. Demand among lessees and airlines tends to favor high-density, single-aisle types with PW1100-series or competing engines; resale and remarketing prospects for this airframe will reflect the wider neo market pricing, fleet commonality, and the documented value of $60,000,000.
