N744P

The airframe bearing tail number N744P is an Airbus A319-112 built in 2000 with manufacturer serial number 1287. This specific airliner is owned and operated by American Airlines, Inc., a United States-based corporation, and is registered in the US civil registry. Delivered into American Airlines' fleet upon completion and remaining under that ownership for line operations, the aircraft is assessed at an approximate market value of $8,000,000, reflecting its age, configuration and typical mid-life status for the type.

The cabin of this airframe is configured in a two-class layout typical for American Airlines A319s, presented as C8 / Y120 which denotes eight premium seats and 120 economy seats for a total of 124 passenger places. In service with an American Airlines operator base in the United States, the airframe is intended for short- to medium-range trunk and regional mainline missions consistent with the A319's range capability of 3,697 nautical miles and maximum certified ceiling of 41,000 feet. Maintenance and operational planning for this specific airframe centers on its powerplants, the pair of CFM56-5B6/P turbofans rated at 27,000 lbf thrust apiece, which guide scheduled shop visits and component life monitoring. The two-class seating mix reflects American Airlines' typical commercial deployment for domestic and near-international routes.

The Airbus A319-112 airframe occupies the narrow-body, fixed-wing multi-engine segment serving airlines that require flexibility for lower-demand routes while retaining transcontinental capability; this example, serial 1287, aligns with that performance niche. Competing models in the market include other single-aisle types offering similar seat counts and ranges, with buyer and charter demand influenced by fleet commonality and residual value—here represented by the aircraft's assessed value of $8,000,000. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its age (built 2000) and the lifecycle of its CFM56-5B6/P engines, both key determinants in overhaul timing and marketability.
