Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N739NK, is an Airbus A321-271NX completed in 2024 with manufacturer serial number 12324. It is owned and operated by Spirit Airlines, Inc., a corporation based in the Dania Beach / Fort Lauderdale area, FL, USA, and carries a US registration. Delivered to and operated by Spirit Airlines upon completion in 2024, the aircraft’s high-density configuration and manufacturer-new status at build year contribute to a recorded asset valuation of $64,000,000. No other registry actions are noted in the supplied data set.
The cabin on this specific A321-271NX is configured in a high-density single-class layout for Spirit with 235 seats, arranged as 8 Big Front + 227 Economy in fixed-recline leather seating. With a published cruise of 470 kts and an endurance enabling a 4,000 nm range, the aircraft is suited to medium- to long-range single-aisle missions typical of low-cost carrier networks. Based at the Dania Beach / Fort Lauderdale area, FL, USA, the operator uses this airframe within a point-to-point network model emphasizing high seat counts and dense seating economics. The two PW1133G-JM turbofan engines provide modern geared turbofan performance characteristics appropriate to the type’s mission profile.
As an Airbus A321-271NX example, this airframe represents the new-technology single-aisle niche focused on extended range and higher seat density within a common-type family. The combination of 235 seats, 4,000 nm range and 33,110 lbf thrust engines positions it for carriers seeking increased per-flight capacity and transcontinental or thinner transoceanic sectors within single-aisle economics. For operators and asset managers, the aircraft’s 2024 build year and stated valuation of $64,000,000 will be central to maintenance planning, lease/ownership accounting and eventual resale considerations.
