N729NK

Tail number N729NK is an Airbus-built narrowbody completed in 2024 as serial number 11908 by Airbus S A S. The airframe is an Airbus A321-271NX registered in the US and is held in trust by WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE, located in Wilmington, DE, United States; this trustee ownership is reflected in the formal registration records. The aircraft carries a high-density configuration and was manufactured with modern engines and systems appropriate to entry-into-service in 2024. Registry entries list the trustee as owner; no separate lessee/operator was published in the supplied data.

This specific airframe is outfitted in a single-class high-density 235-seat all-economy layout consistent with a Spirit-style configuration, emphasizing maximum passenger capacity for short- to medium-haul operations. The combination of the PW1133GA-JM powerplants and a 4,000 nm range supports dense point-to-point services and high-cycle low-cost carrier missions, typically operated from bases serving multiple daily turnarounds. Avionics and additional operator-specific fitments were not published in the supplied data; maintenance considerations for this aircraft focus on standard A321neo-type checks and engine-specific maintenance programs for the Pratt & Whitney Geared Turbofan variant. Cabin amenities follow a carrier-driven, high-density schematic rather than premium service offerings.

The Airbus A321-271NX occupies the single-aisle high-capacity niche within the A320 family, offering extended range and improved fuel efficiency compared with earlier A321ceo variants. With two PW1133GA-JM engines rated at 33,110 lbf each, this subvariant targets operators seeking increased seat-mile economics on transcontinental and thin transatlantic routes as well as dense domestic trunk routes. Market competition includes high-capacity variants of the Boeing 737 MAX family and other A321neo configurations; resale and maintenance considerations emphasize the engine program enrollment and the impact of a high-density cabin on interior refurbishment cycles.
