Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N724NK, is an Airbus-built narrowbody delivered in 2024 with manufacturer serial number 11974. The aircraft is operated and owned by Spirit Airlines, Inc., a corporation based in Miramar, FL, US, and carries a US registration. The airframe’s ownership history is straightforward with initial delivery to Spirit Airlines as the operator-owner, and no additional registry actions have been published. Valuation and condition specifics are not published.
The airframe is fitted in a high-density single-class cabin consistent with the operator layout, accommodating approximately 235 seats for short- to medium-haul operations. The flight deck is equipped with Airbus standard avionics featuring a modern glass cockpit and full fly-by-wire controls, supporting airline operational commonality across the A320 family. Typical mission profiles for this configuration emphasize high-capacity, cost-sensitive point-to-point routes within the continent and transcontinental sectors that make use of the aircraft’s approximate 4,000 nm range and cruise speed near 450 kts. Being an operator-owned unit based in Miramar, FL, US, maintenance and scheduling follow Spirit Airlines’ in-house programs and line-base support; no unique cabin amenities beyond the high-density layout have been published.
The airframe is an example of the Airbus A321-271NX variant, part of Airbus’s A320neo family designed to deliver improved fuel efficiency and longer range relative to earlier A321ceo models. Powered by geared turbofans in the PW1100G series, the type competes with stretched single-aisle offerings from Boeing and other A321neo configurations in dense short- to medium-haul markets. High-density, single-class A321neos are in demand among low-cost carriers seeking maximum seat-mile economics; resale and maintenance considerations center on gearbox and engine support for the PW1100G family and the market appetite for high-density interiors.
