N835AW

This article describes the individual airframe N835AW, an Airbus A319-132 built in 2005 with manufacturer's serial number 2458. The aircraft is owned by American Airlines (a corporation based in the United States) and has been operated in the U.S. registry (US) under that ownership. Notable registry items for this airframe include its specific tail number allocation and continued operation within a major network carrier fleet; maintenance condition and market valuation are not published for this individual airframe. The airframe’s configuration and service history reflect a mainline narrow‑body used in short‑ to medium‑haul passenger operations.

The airframe carries a reported cabin configuration code C8Y120, reflecting an approximate layout of 8 business plus 120 main cabin seats following reconfiguration, indicating a mixed‑class layout tailored for transcontinental or high‑frequency short‑haul services. The flight deck fits the standard Airbus A320‑family avionics/EFIS common to the A319 line, supporting airline standard operations and pilot transition within the family. Typical missions for this A319‑132 would include domestic and near‑international routes up to its published range of 3,697 nm, operating from American Airlines’ U.S. network bases. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe follow IAE V2524‑A5 engine support schedules and Airbus A320‑family airframe maintenance programs as applied by the operator.

The Airbus A319-132 belongs to the A320 family, positioned as a shortened, lower‑capacity narrow‑body with long range for its class, offering operators flexibility on thinner routes where a full‑size A320 would be less economical. Competing models include smaller variants of the Boeing 737 family and Embraer E‑jets on capacity and mission profile. For buyers and lessors, considerations center on airframe age (this airframe is a 2005 build), remaining life cycles, engine model support for the IAE V2524‑A5, and typical refurbishment to meet contemporary cabin expectations in a 128‑seat layout.
