N740UW

This airframe, registered as N740UW, is an Airbus A319-112 completed in 2000 with manufacturer serial number 1265. The aircraft has been owned by American Airlines, Inc., a corporation based in Fort Worth, TX, US, and is recorded on the US registry. As a fixed-wing multi-engine type powered by twin high-bypass turbofans, N740UW serves within American Airlines' mainline fleet and is registered in the United States. No public record of other ownership transfers or notable registry actions is provided for this specific airframe.

Within American Airlines' configuration, this A319-112 carries a two-class mainline layout commonly arranged as 8 Business / 18 Main Cabin Extra / 102 Economy (128 total), reflecting the short- to medium-haul mission profile typical of the type. Operating from the owner's base in Fort Worth, TX, US, the aircraft's performance — with a cruise speed of 450 kts and a range of 3,672 nm — supports domestic and near-international routes across the continental United States and neighboring regions. Cabin and operational specifics for this particular tail are consistent with the carrier's standard A319 sets; no separate bespoke amenities or unique maintenance configurations are documented for this airframe in the provided data. Routine mainline utilization and fleet-standard upkeep practices are implied by the aircraft's use within American Airlines' network.

The Airbus A319-112 occupies the short-to-medium range single-aisle market niche, offering a balance of capacity and reach as exemplified by N740UW's 128-seat layout and 3,672 nm range. With twin CFM56-5B6/P engines providing 23,500 lbf thrust each and a certified ceiling of 41,000 ft, the model competes with similar narrowbody types for airline demand on thinner trunk routes and point-to-point services. Market considerations for this airframe type include lifecycle maintenance planning for high-cycle operations, fleet standardization benefits for operators like American Airlines, Inc., and resale dynamics influenced by airframe age (this example built in 2000) and configuration.
