N702NK

The airframe bearing registration and tail number N702NK is an Airbus A321-271NX delivered new in 2023 with manufacturer serial number 11328. The aircraft is registered in the US and is held in trust by WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE, a corporate owner located in Wilmington, DE, US. It is configured for Spirit Airlines in a single-class, high-density layout and is typically operated in the carrier’s short- to medium-haul network from its US bases. There are no public records of notable incident or registry actions for this specific airframe; its recent manufacture and high-density configuration place it in active revenue service with contemporary condition and standard entry-into-service valuation profiles for new A321neo-family deliveries.

The aircraft is outfitted in a single-class high-density cabin for Spirit Airlines with 246 all-economy seats, emphasizing maximum seat count for low-cost carrier operations. Avionics fit follows Airbus A321neo-family standards (factory avionics suites appropriate to the A321-271NX specification), supporting typical short- to transcontinental missions within the stated 4,000 nm range and cruise at around 450 kts. Maintenance and operational considerations for this airframe center on the geared turbofan engines (IAE PW1133G-JM) and high-utilization quick-turn schedules associated with low-cost carriers. As a relatively new 2023 delivery, the aircraft benefits from modern warranty and manufacturer support regimes and conventional line- and base-maintenance planning.

The Airbus A321-271NX represents the A321neo family niche for high-capacity, single-aisle long-range operations, offering operators like Spirit Airlines improved fuel efficiency and range compared with legacy A321ceo variants. Competing models include high-density configurations of the Boeing 737 MAX 9/10 and other A321neo subtypes; the IAE PW1133G-JM engines and the 4,000 nm capability make it attractive for extended single-aisle sectors. For owners and lessors, high-density, all-economy A321neos typically retain strong demand in the low-cost carrier market, while maintenance, lease returns, and resale value are influenced by cabin density, engine choice, and cumulative cycles.
