N129AA2014 Airbus A321-231

Overview

This airframe, registered as N129AA, is an Airbus A321-231 built in 2014 with manufacturer serial number 6401. The airframe is recorded as owned by the corporation Bank of Utah Trustee, located in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and is registered in the US registry. The installation history includes a cabin reconfiguration completed in January 2022, listed as reconfigured from C16Y165 to C20Y170 in Jan 2022. Public valuation and detailed condition reports are not published in the supplied data.

Operations & Cabin

The installed cabin layout is recorded as C20Y170, reflecting a configuration of 20 business-class and 170 economy-class seats after the January 2022 rework. The aircraft is a fixed-wing multi-engine transport optimized for short- to medium-haul high-density routes, with a typical cruise speed of 450 kts and a maximum service ceiling of 39,000 ft suitable for standard airliner flight levels. With its 2× IAE V2533-A5 powerplants, this airframe is commonly employed on routes up to its declared range of 3,200 nm, serving high-capacity trunk or charter missions where dense seating (here 379 seats) is required. Operator base and specific avionics fit were not published in the supplied information; maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would follow Airbus A321-200 series schedules and the IAE V2533-A5 engine shop visit cycles.

Model & Market Context

The Airbus A321-231 is a member of the A320 family, aimed at the single-aisle, high-capacity market niche; this particular subvariant with IAE V2533-A5 engines targets operators seeking a balance of thrust and fuel burn for medium-range sectors. Competing models include stretched single-aisles from both Airbus and Boeing in similar seating and range classes. Given the dense seating of 379, this airframe has stronger appeal to high-density operators or charter services rather than premium-configured carriers; resale and maintenance considerations will hinge on interior wear from high-utilization, engine maintenance status, and the impact of the January 2022 cabin reconfiguration on marketability.
