N105DX 2020 Airbus A321-211

Overview

This airframe, registered N105DX, is an Airbus A321-211 with manufacturer's serial number 10030 built in 2020. It is recorded as owned by Delta Air Lines, Inc. (a United States-based corporation), and has remained on the US registry since delivery. No notable registry actions beyond standard entry on the US register are published for this specific tail number.

Operations & Cabin

The aircraft is configured in an operator layout reported as approximately 20 First / 29 Comfort+ / 142 Economy (191 total), indicating a mixed-class short- to medium-haul commercial cabin optimized for high-density single-aisle operations. As a line-operated airliner, it typically performs domestic and transcontinental missions within the aircraft's 3,200 nm range and cruise performance around 470 kts, consistent with fleet utilization by major US carriers. Specific avionics fit, in-service maintenance schedule, and unique onboard amenity details for this registration are not published publicly; maintenance considerations follow standard A321 fleet practices for the CFM56-5B powerplant. The airframe's US registration and corporate ownership imply operation from US bases and maintenance under applicable FAA oversight.

Model & Market Context

The Airbus A321-211 occupies the narrow-body, single-aisle market niche for medium-range, high-capacity routes, offering greater seating and range compared with smaller A320-family variants. It competes with stretched narrow-body types such as Boeing 737-800/737-900ER in airline networks seeking 180-220 seat single-aisle economics. For buyers and lessors, the A321's widespread operator base supports robust aftermarket demand, while maintenance and resale considerations reflect the mature support environment for the CFM56-5B engine and common-parts benefits across the A320 family.
