RESEARCH NOTES
About N172US
Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.
Overview
This airframe, registered as N172US, is an Airbus A321-211 (A321-200) built in 2001 with manufacturer serial number 1472. The aircraft is owned and operated by American Airlines, a United States corporation, and has remained on the U.S. registry since manufacture. Delivered into the American Airlines fleet upon completion, the airframe’s ownership history is singular in the supplied records. Condition and valuation specifics are not published in the provided data.
Operations & Cabin
The cabin on this specific airframe is configured C20Y170, providing 20 business class seats and 170 economy seats for a total of 190 passenger seats. Operated by American Airlines, the aircraft’s performance figures, particularly the 3,100 nm range and 516 kt cruise speed, suit it for medium- to long-range mainline missions within the U.S. network and for transcontinental services. Maintenance considerations for this airframe center on its twin CFM56-5B3/P turbofan engines, a common powerplant for the type that informs routine engine program scheduling and line maintenance practices. The airframe ceiling of 41,000 ft supports efficient cruise altitudes used in airline operations, while the specified seating density aligns it with high-capacity mainline deployments.
Model & Market Context
As an Airbus A321-211 (A321-200) airframe, serial 1472, this aircraft occupies the narrow-body, single-aisle, fixed-wing multi-engine segment and is configured for high-capacity short- to medium-haul service with extended range capability to 3,100 nm. Its twin CFM56-5B3/P engines and 190-seat layout target dense mainline routes where payload and range balance are critical. For owners and operators, considerations drawn from the provided data include fleet commonality with similar A321 variants, established engine support frameworks for the CFM56 family, and resale or transfer prospects tied to seating configuration and remaining operational life from a 2001 build.
