N640FR

This airframe, registered as N640FR, is an Airbus-built narrowbody delivered in 2024 by Airbus S.A.S. with manufacturer serial number 11973. The aircraft is recorded in US registry and is registered to WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee entity based in Wilmington, DE, US, indicating trustee ownership likely for leasing or asset-management purposes. Operator and home base information: Not published. Notable registry actions include its US registration under a trustee corporation; condition and formal valuation details are not published in the supplied data.

The airframe is configured in a high-density single-class layout with 246 economy seats, optimized for short- to medium-haul high-capacity operations. Avionics fit and specific cabin amenities are not published in the provided data; typical airline fits for this model prioritize slim-line seats and increased galley/door configurations to support rapid turnarounds. With a 3,500 nm range and a cruise speed of 470 kts, its mission profile suits dense domestic and transcontinental sectors within the contiguous United States and nearby international routes. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft center on its Pratt & Whitney PW1133G-JM geared turbofan powerplants and the operational wear associated with high-density single-class service patterns.

The airframe is an example of the Airbus A321-271NX family, a high-capacity, fuel-efficient member of the A320neo generation intended to replace older single-aisle types on dense routes. With a 3,500 nm range and a maximum cruising altitude near 39,800 ft, it occupies the niche for airlines seeking single-aisle transcontinental capability with lower unit costs; primary competition comes from stretched variants of the competing Boeing single-aisle family. Buyer and charter demand typically favors these high-density A321neo variants for dense short- and medium-haul markets, while maintenance and resale considerations focus on the health and remaining life of PW1133G-JM engines and the marketability of a 246-seat high-density cabin when converting for alternate operators.
