N667AW

This entry describes airframe N667AW, an Airbus-built narrow-body completed in 2002 with manufacturer serial number 1710. The aircraft is a member of the A320 family designated as Airbus A320-232 and is recorded as owned by the corporation American Airlines (United States). The airframe carries a US registration and has an assessed market value of $3,500,000, reflecting its age and retained utility for short- to medium-haul operations. Registered in the United States under corporate ownership, this airframe remains configured for revenue passenger service under its owner/operator.

The aircraft is fitted in a two-class, 150-seat cabin arranged as 12 First / 18 Main Cabin Extra / 120 Main Cabin, reflecting a typical domestic mainline configuration for higher-density short- to medium-range routes. As operated by American Airlines, the airframe is principally employed on domestic and transcontinental sectors within the U.S. and nearby international destinations consistent with a certified range of 3,300 nm. Avionics fit and specific equipment lists are not published for this tail, but operational considerations for a 2002-built A320-232 include life-limited parts, structural inspections, and engine shop visit scheduling for its pair of IAE V2527-A5 turbofans. Cabin amenities conform to the operator’s two-class standard rather than a bespoke corporate interior.

The Airbus A320-232 is part of the A320 family that occupies the single-aisle, short- to medium-haul market niche, competing directly with variants of the Boeing 737 family. With seating for 150 and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft, the type offers flexible mission capability for dense domestic networks and thinner international routes within its 3,300 nm range. Market demand for used A320s remains driven by mainline carriers and lessors seeking reliable medium-capacity jets, while aging examples such as this 2002 airframe show accelerated depreciation—illustrated by the assessed value of $3,500,000—and consequently attract buyers focused on cost-effective acquisition, component harvesting, or continued line operations under robust maintenance programs.
