N167US2001 Airbus A321-211

Overview

This airframe, registered as N167US, is an Airbus A321-211 built in 2001 with manufacturer serial number 1442. The airframe is recorded as owned by American Airlines Inc (a corporation based in Fort Worth, TX, US) and carries a US registration.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin of this specific A321-211 is fitted in a two-class layout with 16 Business / 171 Economy (2-class, 187 total) seats, providing a typical single-aisle high-density arrangement for short- to medium-haul routes. Operated under corporate ownership by American Airlines Inc, the aircraft’s operational profile aligns with mainline carrier missions where a combination of subsonic cruise at 450 kts and a range of 3,200 nm suit transcontinental and regional trunk routes.

Model & Market Context

The Airbus A321-211 sits within the A320 family as a stretched, higher-capacity single-aisle type targeting operators requiring up to 187 seats and transcontinental capability near 3,200 nm. Competing with similar narrowbody types in airline fleets, this variant’s two CFM56-5B3/P engines delivering 32,000 lbf each support the performance niche of efficient short- to medium-range mainline operations. For buyers and lessors, the combination of seating density, cruise performance, and the airframe’s age (build year 2001) informs maintenance, resale prospects, and deployment choices within established carrier networks.
