Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N648FR, is an Airbus A321-271NX built in 2024 with manufacturer serial number 12000. The airframe is owned by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Salt Lake City, UT; this ownership indicates financial or leasing arrangements rather than direct airline operation. Operator and home base are Not published. Notable registry actions are Not published. Valuation and condition highlights are Not published.
The cabin is configured in a high-density single-class layout, reported at approximately 240–246 seats for operator-specific operations, indicating a dense economy arrangement focused on maximum passenger capacity. Avionics fit and specific onboard amenities are Not published, but the combination of a high seat count and the listed cruise and range figures aligns this aircraft for medium‑range, high-capacity scheduled services or dense charter work where single-class seating is preferred. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe will center on the twin PW1133GA-JM engines and standard Airbus A321‑NX-line airframe upkeep; the corporate trustee ownership often implies managed maintenance programs under lease or remarketing processes. Operator base and typical route structure for this specific registration are Not published.
As an Airbus A321-271NX with a reported maximum seating near 246, a range of 3,200 nm, and cruise speed of 450 kts, this configuration targets operators requiring high-capacity, medium‑to‑long short‑haul capability within a single-aisle platform. The twin PW1133GA-JM engines rated at 33,110 lbf each provide the thrust level specified for this variant, which influences operating economics and maintenance planning. High-density interior layouts, such as this airframe’s, affect resale and leasing appeal—favoring airlines and lessors focused on high‑volume short‑to‑medium sectors—while ownership by a corporate trustee suggests the aircraft may be employed in leased or managed fleet roles rather than owner‑operator service.
