N709UW

The airframe bearing registration N709UW is an Airbus narrow-body manufactured as an Airbus A319-112, construction serial number 997, and built in 1999. The airframe is recorded as owned by American Airlines, Inc. (a United States corporation) and is listed on the US registry (US). Manufactured in 1999, this specific A319-112 occupies a late-1990s production slot within Airbus's A320 family run. Valuation records for the asset put its market worth at approximately $8,000,000, reflecting airframe age and market conditions for late-model narrow-bodies.

The aircraft is configured in a two-class cabin as reported by the operator, with 8 business-class seats and 120 economy seats for a total of 128 passenger seats. Operated by American Airlines, Inc., the type is typically used on short- to medium-haul trunk and regional mainline services consistent with its 3,700 nm range and 450 kt cruise speed; specific routing for this individual airframe would align with the operator’s domestic and near-international network. No bespoke avionics or cabin retrofit data are published for this tail in the supplied dataset; maintenance considerations are those typical for late-1990s A319s, including age-related airframe and engine life-cycle management for CFM56-5B6/P powerplants and airworthiness compliance under US registry requirements.

The Airbus A319-112 is a member of the A320 family positioned for operators needing narrow-body flexibility with lower seat counts than stretched variants; its performance (ceiling 41,000 ft, cruise 450 kts, and range 3,700 nm) makes it suitable for intra-continental routes. Competing models historically include earlier Boeing 737 Classic/NG variants and regional narrow-body jets offering similar payload-range trade-offs. From a resale and maintenance perspective, a 1999-built A319 such as N709UW commands lower market values relative to younger assets, with lifecycle considerations focused on engine shop visits for CFM56-5B6/P units and potential cabin refurbishment to meet current passenger expectations.
