N558UW

This airframe, bearing the tail number N558UW, is an Airbus A321-231 constructed by Airbus with manufacturer's serial number 5282 and completed in 2012. The airframe is recorded as owned by American Airlines Inc (a Corporation based in Fort Worth, TX, US) and is registered in the US registry. Entered service in 2012 and retained within the same corporate ownership in public records, the airframe’s operational history reflects continuous airline-level utilization rather than private conversion. Notable registry entries emphasize standard commercial certification and operator registration without recorded civilian reconfiguration or lease transfers in the supplied data.

The A321-231 configuration typically supports single-aisle, short- to medium-haul airline operations consistent with a 3,200 nm range and a cruise speed near 447 kts, enabling domestic and transcontinental sectors for its operator based in Fort Worth, TX, US. Cabin layout specifics are not published for this airframe in the provided data; however, as an A321-231 operated by a major U.S. carrier, it is customarily fitted for high-density commercial passenger service with airline-standard galley and lavatory arrangements. Avionics and systems align with Airbus A321-series line-fit standards for the production year 2012, with maintenance considerations centered on engine type IAE V2533-A5 lifecycle management and airframe tracking per corporate maintenance programs. Typical mission profiles for this airframe involve scheduled airline rotations rather than corporate or charter-exclusive operations.

The Airbus A321-231 occupies the single-aisle, medium-range market niche, offering improved capacity and range relative to smaller A320-family variants, with the supplied performance figures supporting transcontinental U.S. routes and regional international sectors. Competing models in the same segment include stretched variants of other narrowbodies; buyer and operator demand focuses on fleet commonality and economics tied to the IAE V2533-A5 engine choice. Maintenance and resale considerations for a 2012-build A321 emphasize engine shop visit schedules, structural fatigue tracking, and the value impact of operator maintenance records and continuous commercial use.
