Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N725NK, is an Airbus A321-271NX (A321neo) built in 2024 with manufacturer serial number 11916. Ownership is recorded under the trust corporation WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE, located in Wilmington, DE, US; the aircraft is registered in the US. Initial US registration occurred upon delivery in 2024, and the airframe carries a contemporary valuation assessed at $130,000,000. Operator and home-base details are not published; maintenance and condition highlights beyond the valuation have not been disclosed.
The airframe is fitted in a high-density single-class all-economy configuration with 246 seats, optimized for short- to medium-haul high-capacity service profiles. Avionics fit is consistent with the A321neo family baseline (modern flight deck and advanced systems), though specific retrofit or operator-specific avionics options are not published for this serial. Typical mission profiles for this configuration include dense domestic or regional trunk routes requiring high seat counts and efficient per-seat operating economics. As a trust-owned asset, the aircraft may be operated by a third-party carrier under lease or ACMI arrangements; specific operator assignment, base of operations, and unique cabin amenities beyond the all-economy layout are not disclosed. Maintenance considerations follow OEM programs for the A321neo with emphasis on PW1100G-family engine support and scheduled airframe checks.
The Airbus A321-271NX (A321neo) occupies the single-aisle high-capacity niche within the A320neo family, offering extended range and lower fuel burn compared with legacy narrowbodies. Its direct competitors include stretched variants of other narrowbodies and high-density configurations of rival models targeting dense short- and medium-haul markets. Buyer and lease demand typically favors aircraft with the PW1133G-JM engines for their fuel-efficiency benefits, but operators must consider engine shop visit planning and long-term PW1100G maintenance exposure. Resale and leasing value for a 2024-built, high-density A321neo such as this benefit from strong market demand for fuel-efficient, high-seat-count narrowbodies, reflected in the aircraft’s $130,000,000 valuation.
