N984CM

This airframe, registered as N984CM, is an Airbus A321-231 completed in 2007 with manufacturer serial number 3274. It has been configured as a passenger-to-freighter conversion (P2F / PCF) and is owned by Cargo Aircraft Management Inc, a corporate owner based in Wilmington, Ohio, United States. The aircraft’s current operator/home base aligns with its owner’s Wilmington, OH location. Not published: notable registry actions; not published: valuation or condition highlights.

As a dedicated freighter converted from the A321-231 passenger variant, N984CM features a main-deck palletised cargo cabin with no passenger seats, optimized for standard Unit Load Devices and palletized freight in a P2F/PCF fit. Avionics and systems retain the A321 baseline family standards appropriate to the aircraft’s conversion, supporting typical medium-haul cargo operations within its 3,200 nm range and cruise profile. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include express and integrator routes, domestic and regional scheduled freighter services, and ad hoc charters where a narrowbody freighter payload and economics are required. Maintenance considerations reflect those of a converted narrowbody freighter, including main-deck cargo door and floor reinforcement inspections and freighter-specific certification tasks under the owner’s maintenance program.

The Airbus A321-231 P2F/PCF occupies the narrowbody freighter niche that balances single-aisle fuel efficiency with increased main-deck volume compared with smaller freighters. Competing models include converted versions of the Boeing 737 family and other A320ceo-series freighters; the A321’s range and higher payload capacity make it attractive for denser regional and short transcontinental lanes. Buyer and charter demand tends to favor operators seeking main-deck pallet capability with jet cruise speeds (~477 kts) and a service ceiling common to modern single-aisle fleets; resale and maintenance considerations hinge on conversion quality, remaining structural life since the 2007 build, and the managing corporation’s maintenance record.
