N990CM

This airframe, civil registration N990CM, is an Airbus A321-232 (P2F) built in 2002 with manufacturer serial number 1848. Owned by Cargo Aircraft Management Inc, a corporation based in Wilmington, OH, US, the aircraft is operated from a US registry and valued at $17,800,000 in current assessments. The airframe’s configuration reflects a passenger-to-freighter conversion, and no additional prior ownership or notable registry actions have been published for this specific hull. Condition highlights beyond valuation are not published.

This A321-232 has been modified in a passenger-to-freighter main-deck cargo system (P2F) layout: the main deck is fitted for pallets and containers while the lower deck is fitted for ULDs; a typical A321P2F installation yields 14 main-deck positions plus 10 lower-deck positions. The aircraft’s two-seat flight crew arrangement reflects its freight role rather than passenger operations. Typical mission profiles for this conversion emphasize short- to medium-haul thin-freight routes within the aircraft’s 2,053 nm range and cruise speed of 470 kts, often operated from regional cargo hubs consistent with the owner’s US base. Specific avionics fit and line maintenance records are not published; ongoing maintenance considerations would follow standard A321 P2F practices related to freighter loading systems and lower-deck ULD handling.

The Airbus A321-232 P2F occupies a niche between narrowbody freighters and larger widebody cargo jets, offering payload and volumetric capacity suited to express and belly-freight replacement markets. Competing models include converted A320-family freighters and stretched narrowbody conversions, with demand driven by e-commerce regional routes. Maintenance and resale considerations for this hull include life-limited items tied to a 2002 build, the cost of P2F-specific structure and systems, and the aircraft’s established twin IAE V2530-A5 engine commonality, which influences aftermarket support and residual value.
