N709NK

This entry describes airframe N709NK, an Airbus-built A321-271NX completed in 2023 with manufacturer serial number 11470. The airframe is registered in the US and is held in trust by WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE, a corporation located in Wilmington, DE, US. Specific operator and home-base details are Not published. Notable registry actions and valuation details are Not published for this individual aircraft.

This airframe is fitted with a high-density single-class cabin configured to approximately 246 all-economy seats, reflecting an operator-configured, high-capacity layout suitable for dense short- to medium-haul rotations. Avionics fit and specific interior finish standards are Not published for this particular unit; maintenance considerations follow from its high-utilization seating and narrow-body mission profile implied by the cabin density and engine type. With a design cruise near 470 kts and a service ceiling of 39,000 ft, typical missions for this configuration would prioritize high-capacity point-to-point and transcontinental sectors within the certified 4,000 nm range envelope. The trust ownership structure suggests institutional asset management, with operational control and leasing arrangements Not published.

As an Airbus A321-271NX, this airframe represents the high-capacity, fuel-efficient member of its family tailored for dense single-aisle operations; the combination of two PW1133GA-JM powerplants rated at 33,110 lbf each supports the specified cruise and range performance. The 246-seat, all-economy cabin places this aircraft in a niche where airlines prioritize seat-mile economics and high-frequency scheduling. Resale and maintenance considerations for this aircraft derive from its 2023 build year, modern engine type, and high-density configuration, factors that influence marketability to carriers seeking immediate fleet capacity rather than premium-configured operators.
