Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered N726NK, is an Airbus A321-271NX (A321neo) built in 2024 with manufacturer serial number 11928. The aircraft is owned by Spirit Airlines LLC, a corporation based in Dania Beach, FL, US, and is operated in Spirit’s single-aisle, high-density network. Registry details list a US registration and the airframe carries an estimated market value of $60,000,000 in new-delivery condition. No public record of prior operators or significant registry events for this specific serial are published beyond its new-build assignment to the listed owner.
The cabin of N726NK is outfitted in a high-density single-aisle layout totaling 235 seats, arranged as 8 premium "Big Front"/First seats and 227 Economy seats, reflecting Spirit Airlines’ ultra-low-cost carrier configuration and route philosophy. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include short- to medium-haul transcontinental and high-utilization domestic services that leverage the A321neo’s extended range of 4,000 nm to offer longer stage lengths than earlier single-aisles. Avionics fit and specific onboard amenities for this serial are not published; maintenance and operational considerations align with Pratt & Whitney geared-turbofan support programs and A321neo fleet commonality policies used by the operator. The aircraft’s entry into service in 2024 positions it within contemporary production standards and warranty/lease structures at delivery.
The Airbus A321-271NX (A321neo) sits in the single-aisle narrowbody niche emphasizing fuel efficiency, range, and higher-capacity layouts relative to earlier A320-family types. With two Pratt & Whitney PW1133G-JM powerplants rated at 33,110 lbf each, the type competes with stretched Boeing 737 MAX variants for replacement and growth requirements among low-cost and network carriers. Demand for high-density A321neos remains strong for operators seeking lower per-seat operating costs and extended stage lengths; resale and maintenance considerations for this serial are influenced by commonality within Spirit’s fleet, engine support agreements, and the aircraft’s modern build year of 2024.
