N679NK

This airframe, registered as N679NK, is an Airbus A321-231 built in 2017 with manufacturer serial number 7825. The airframe is held by UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, which appears in the aircraft’s ownership record as the registered owner. The aircraft is registered in the US and is configured in a high-density single-class layout for Spirit Airlines service; the configuration and trustee ownership suggest the airframe has been placed into commercial airline service under a lease or commercial operating agreement. No public valuation or condition appraisal is published in the provided data.

The aircraft is fitted in a high-density single-class 220-seat Spirit Airlines layout intended for short- to medium-haul, high-capacity low-cost operations. Cabin fittings and galley/service provisions reflect a dense economy configuration optimized for maximum passenger count rather than premium amenities. Typical missions for this configuration are point-to-point domestic and near-international routes within the aircraft’s 3,212 nm range, operated at cruising speeds around 447 kts and flight levels up to 39,800 ft. Maintenance and operational considerations for this specific airframe center on the twin IAE V2533-A5 engines and the airframe utilization consistent with high-cycle, high-density low-cost carrier deployment.

The Airbus A321-231 belongs to the A321 family, positioned to deliver higher single-aisle capacity relative to earlier A320 variants, filling a niche for airlines seeking increased seat-mile efficiency. With two IAE V2533-A5 engines producing 31,600 lbf thrust each, the type competes with stretched narrowbodies offering similar range and capacity from other manufacturers. Buyer and lease demand commonly favors A321s configured for high-density operations; resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe will be influenced by its 2017 manufacture date, 220-seat interior installation, and trustee ownership structure.
