N741NK

This entry covers airframe N741NK, an Airbus A321-271NX delivered in 2024 with manufacturer serial number 12335. The airframe is registered in the US and is owned by ALC A321 82024 LLC (c/o Air Lease Corporation), an Los Angeles-based lessor entity; the ownership is recorded to that LLC with the owner location listed as Los Angeles, CA, US. Operator-specific cabin and marketing information indicate the type is being marketed in a high-density single-aisle configuration for Spirit Airlines, while valuation records list the aircraft at $62,400,000 and show a current new-build condition consistent with a 2024 delivery.

The cabin is reported in an operator configuration as C8 / Y227 according to operator-reported configuration listings, and is also marketed in a high-density single-aisle layout for Spirit Airlines; the marketed layout emphasizes maximum seats for low-cost operations. Avionics fitment follows the standard Airbus A320neo-family flight deck with a glass cockpit and fly-by-wire flight control architecture, supporting modern navigation, performance and automation profiles. Typical mission profiles for this airframe reflect single-aisle medium- to long-range operations within the declared 4,000 nm range and cruise speeds near 514 kts, making it suitable for dense point-to-point trunk and leisure routes operated from the lessor’s and lessee’s network bases. Maintenance considerations align with the A321neo family and the use of IAE PW1133GA-JM engines, which follow type-specific shop visit and on-wing management practices.

The airframe is an example of the Airbus A321-271NX variant within the A321neo family, positioned for higher-capacity, longer-range single-aisle operations relative to earlier A321ceo models. Competing types in the high-density single-aisle segment include stretched variants of Boeing’s narrowbodies, with demand driven by low-cost carriers seeking high seat counts and extended stage lengths. Residual value and remarketing prospects for this 2024-delivered A321 remain tied to the broader narrowbody leasing market, the engine type PW1133GA-JM support environment, and established Airbus commonality advantages that favor fleet scalability for operators.
