N992AU

This airframe, registered as N992AU, is an Airbus A321-231 built by Airbus in 2016 and carries manufacturer serial number 7157. It is owned and operated by American Airlines, a corporation based in the United States, and is recorded on the US registry. Entered into service in 2016 with American Airlines and has remained with the same corporate operator since delivery, reflecting a straightforward ownership lineage without publicized transfers. Condition reports and valuation notes are not published for this specific airframe, though its continuous corporate operation implies standard-line maintenance under an operator A-list program.

Cabin configuration and exact seating for this individual aircraft are not published, but as an Airbus A321-231 operated by American Airlines, its mission profile is consistent with short- to medium-haul mainline operations within the continental United States and to nearby international points, enabled by a design range of 2,900 nm and a cruise speed of 450 kts. The twin IAE V2533-A5 engines provide the thrust rating used for typical high-utilization airline schedules; maintenance follows the operator’s standard heavy and line maintenance cycles. Based from the operator’s U.S. network, the airframe is typically deployed on dense domestic trunk routes and transborder services where its payload-range balance is optimal.

As an Airbus A321-231 manufactured by Airbus, this airframe fits the fixed-wing multi-engine category, offering a ceiling of 39,000 ft and a range of 2,900 nm, which positions it for medium-range, high-capacity sectors. The propulsion choice of 2× IAE V2533-A5 engines with 33,001 lbf thrust each supports efficient cruise at 450 kts, underlining the airframe’s role in high-frequency mainline rotations. From a market perspective, continuity of ownership by American Airlines simplifies lifecycle records and typical resale or leasing considerations, with maintenance and transferability governed by operator-standard records rather than bespoke ownership events.
