N702UW

This airframe, registered as N702UW, is an Airbus A319-112 built in 1998 with manufacturer serial number 896. The airframe is owned by American Airlines, Inc. (a corporation based in Fort Worth, TX, US) and carries United States registration. The aircraft is recorded with Airbus S.A.S. as the manufacturer and shows the standard service specification for late-1990s A319 production; valuation and detailed condition reports for this specific airframe are not published. Notable registry actions include its current ownership listing in the U.S. civil aircraft registry under American Airlines and continued operation within the carrier’s fleet base in Fort Worth.

The aircraft is configured with 128 passenger seats consistent with higher-density A319 layouts used for short- to medium-haul mainline operations. The avionics fit is the Airbus A320-family integrated flight deck (Airbus avionics/EFIS), providing common type-rated crew procedures across the A320 family and simplifying scheduling and crew utilization for the operator. Typical mission profiles for this A319-112 include domestic and near-international routes within the aircraft’s 3,700 nm range, operating from American Airlines’ Fort Worth base. Maintenance considerations reflect the two CFM56-5B engine installations and the airframe’s late-1990s build standard, factoring into routine checks, component life limits, and avionics support under the common A320-family support structure.

The Airbus A319-112 occupies the lower-capacity segment of the A320 family, offering mainline operators a balance of single-aisle performance and flexibility for short- to medium-range routes with a cruise speed around 450 kts and a high operating ceiling of 41,000 ft. Competing models in this niche include stretched or shortened versions of rival single-aisle airliners that emphasize similar range and seat-count tradeoffs. Buyer and charter demand for used A319s is influenced by fleet commonality, parts availability for the CFM56-5B series, and the integrated A320-family avionics that ease resale and transition among operators. Maintenance and resale considerations for this specific airframe reflect its 1998 manufacture date, serial 896, and continued operation under American Airlines’ U.S. registry.
