N737NK

This airframe, N737NK, is an Airbus A321-271NX built in 2024 with manufacturer serial number 12207. The aircraft is owned and operated by Spirit Airlines, based in Dania Beach, FL, US, and appears on the US civil register. Entered the US civil register in 2024 under Spirit Airlines, and its ownership history remains single-party corporate operation with no public record of subsequent transfers. Valuation and detailed condition appraisals for this specific tail are not published.

The airframe is configured in a high-density single-class cabin reflecting Spirit Airlines’ ultra-low-cost carrier layout with approximately 235 seats. Its mission profile is optimized for short- to long-range point-to-point transcontinental and transborder services, leveraging a maximum range of 4,000 nm and a cruise speed near 430 kts. Avionics fit is consistent with the A321neo family common-type philosophy, supporting airline operational efficiency and pilot transition within the Airbus A320neo family. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft include the geared turbofan PW1133G-JM engines, which bring improved fuel efficiency but require operator-specific support arrangements and aftermarket provisioning consistent with new-build fleet induction.

The Airbus A321-271NX is positioned in the single-aisle, high-capacity niche of the A320neo family, offering extended range and higher seating density versus earlier A321ceo types. Competing types for operators seeking similar capacity and range include stretched Boeing 737 MAX variants and other A321neo configurations. Demand among low-cost carriers for high-density A321neo derivatives remains strong, supporting fleet commonality and unit-cost reduction; resale and maintenance considerations center on engine support contracts, airframe utilization, and the secondary market appetite for high-density-configured airframes like N737NK.
