N668AW

This airframe, registered as N668AW, is an Airbus A320-232 built in 2002 with manufacturer's serial number 1764. The aircraft is owned by American Airlines, a corporation based in the United States, and is operated as part of that carrier’s narrow-body fleet. The airframe carries a US registration (US) and retains the standard factory configuration and maintenance provenance associated with the operator. No additional ownership transfers or notable registry actions have been recorded in the supplied data.

The individual A320-232 in question is configured to accommodate 150 passengers in a single-aisle cabin typical of mainline short- to medium-haul operations. Its avionics fit is the Airbus A320 standard flight deck, featuring EFIS displays and fly-by-wire flight control architecture, supporting typical airline operational procedures and crew interfaces. With a maximum cruise of 430 kts and a range of 3,300 nm, the aircraft is suited to domestic and near-international trunk routes within the operator’s network, flown from American Airlines’ bases. Maintenance considerations align with operator heavy-check schedules for in-service A320ceo family types, and cabin and systems upkeep reflect standard mainline airline practices for an airframe of its build year.

The Airbus A320-232 is a member of the A320 family whose role is a fixed-wing, multi-engine short- to medium-range airliner, offering a balance of capacity and efficiency for single-aisle trunk routes. Competing models in the segment include comparable narrow-body types from rival manufacturers, and demand in airline and secondary markets typically focuses on airframes with proven records and established support networks. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2002-built A320 with IAE V2527-A5 engines emphasize the importance of component life-limited parts, engine cycles, and avionics commonality, factors that influence operator retention, fleet utilization, and remarketing potential.
