N708UW

The airframe bearing tail number N708UW is an Airbus A319-112 built in 1999 with manufacturer serial number 972. It is owned and operated by American Airlines, Inc., a United States–based corporation, and is registered in the US civil registry. The airframe’s operational history with a single major U.S. carrier makes it a workhorse example of the short- to medium-range A319 fleet; delivery to and continuous service with American Airlines are the principal highlights recorded for this unit. Public records do not list distinct extraordinary registry actions or widely publicized incidents, and valuation or condition summaries are not published in the supplied data.

The airframe is configured in a two-class cabin typical of American Airlines A319 installations: 8 First / 24 Main Cabin Extra / 96 Main Cabin, yielding a total of 128 seats. In routine airline service this A319-112 is used on short- to medium-haul domestic and transcontinental missions that suit its 3,700 nm range and cruise speed around 447 kts, operating from American Airlines’ U.S. hubs and bases. The twin CFM56-5B6/P engines provide the certified thrust required for the aircraft’s standard climb and cruise profiles to a service ceiling of 39,000 ft. Specific avionics fit, supplementary interior amenities, and maintenance status for this serial are not detailed in the supplied data.

The Airbus A319-112 occupies the short- to medium-range single-aisle market niche within the A320 family, offering a balance of capacity and stage length for dense domestic routes and thinner international sectors. Competitors for missions of this size include smaller variants of the Boeing 737 family and regional narrowbodies; demand is typically driven by legacy carrier fleet strategies and scope clause considerations. Maintenance and resale considerations for a 1999-built airframe like N708UW concentrate on engine shop visits for the CFM56-5B6/P, airframe checks tied to flight cycles, and market appetite for used A319s in two-class airline configurations.
