N713NK

This airframe, registered as N713NK, is an Airbus A321-271NX (A321neo) built in 2024 with manufacturer serial number 11789. The aircraft is owned and operated by Spirit Airlines, a United States corporation, and is registered in the US registry. Delivered new to Spirit Airlines in 2024, the airframe entered service with a high-density configuration and carries an estimated market value of $64,000,000 reflecting a current production-model pricing benchmark and its new status. No other ownership transfers or registry liens are published for this specific serial.

The airframe is fitted in Spirit Airlines’ high-density cabin layout: 235 seats (8 Big Front / 227 Economy), prioritizing maximum single-class capacity without a premium lie-flat product. Typical mission profiles for this configuration emphasize short- to medium-haul, high-frequency scheduled operations where seat-density economics are paramount; the aircraft’s 4,000 nm range and 447 kt cruise permit both domestic transcontinental sectors and select longer thin-market routes within that capability. Avionics and systems adhere to Airbus A321neo factory standard specifications for the A321-271NX variant; maintenance is aligned with airline heavy and line checks per manufacturer and Pratt & Whitney service bulletins for the PW1100G-JM family. Operational considerations for this specific aircraft include sustainment of a dense cabin layout and fleet-common spares provisioning under Spirit’s U.S.-based maintenance programs.

The Airbus A321-271NX occupies a niche within single-aisle, high-capacity, fuel-efficient aircraft families, offering extended range and better per-seat economics over earlier A321ceo types. Competing models for operators prioritizing density and range include other A321neo variants and stretched single-aisle types from competing manufacturers; demand remains strong among low-cost carriers seeking high-density interiors. From a maintenance and resale perspective, this airframe’s new-build status, Pratt & Whitney PW1127G engines, and operator-standard dense cabin will influence part-out and residual values, with resale less likely to favor carriers seeking premium cabins without reconfiguration costs.
