Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N720NK, is an Airbus A321-271NX completed in 2024 with manufacturer serial number 12048. The Certificate of Registration lists ownership under WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE, a corporation based in Wilmington, DE, US, indicating the airframe is held in trust for a corporate asset structure. The aircraft is registered in the US and, beyond its trust ownership, operator and base information are Not published. Not published: notable registry actions and public valuation or condition reports specific to this airframe.
The cabin of N720NK is fitted in a high-density two-class layout with 8 business seats and 227 economy seats for a total of 235 seats, reflecting a configuration optimized for high-capacity short- to medium-haul scheduled services. Avionics fit and specific interior amenities for this serial are Not published; however, the combination of the airframe’s 4,000 nm range and 448 kt cruise speed positions it for transcontinental and select thin long-range missions without ETOPS-level diversion limitations for single-aisle operations. The aircraft’s registered status in the US and trustee ownership suggest use under a corporate leasing or airline operating agreement, though operator identity and maintenance-responsibility details are Not published.
The Airbus A321-271NX is part of the A321neo family that targets high-capacity single-aisle routes where extended range and lower per-seat operating cost are decisive. With IAE PW1133GA-JM powerplants producing 33,110 lbf thrust each and a 4,000 nm capability, this model competes directly with stretched variants of the Boeing 737 MAX family on dense short- to medium-range trunk routes. For buyers and lessors, a 2024-built airframe with a 235-seat layout is attractive to low-cost carriers and dense short-haul operators; maintenance planning will reflect modern engine and winglet technologies but resale value will hinge on interior standardization and the disclosed operator utilization, which for this airframe is not publicly documented.
