  • SEC EDGAR — American Airlines Group Inc. FY2025 Form 10-KPRIMARY SOURCERetrieved Jul 14, 2026

    Mainline fleet table: Airbus A321neo — 195 seats, average age 4.8 years, 49 owned, 35 leased, 84 total, as of 2025-12-31.

    Gives total/average seats per type and fleet count only; no per-cabin split and no distinction between the two sub-configs. The 84 total reconciles with Wikipedia's 74 + 10 aircraft, and the 195 average matches the weighted mean of the 196- and 190-seat configs.

  • WikipediaINDEPENDENT SOURCERetrieved Jul 14, 2026

    American A321neo fleet split into two passenger configurations: 74 aircraft at 20 First / 35 Main Cabin Extra / 141 Main Cabin = 196, and 10 aircraft (former Alaska Airlines frames) at 20 First / 35 Main Cabin Extra / 135 Main Cabin = 190.

    Wikipedia supports the former Alaska Airlines attribution and published fleet/configuration counts. It does not establish Virgin America origin, non-ACF identity or eight-exit hardware. Shared First and MCE cells do not verify numbered layout or variant-specific physical geometry.

How this map was built

Wikipedia lists 10 former Alaska Airlines A321neo aircraft with 190 seats and shared First / Main Cabin Extra columns yielding 20F/35N/135Y. This is specifications-only evidence. Virgin America origin, classic four-door-pair arrangement, non-ACF identity, exit geometry, progressive refresh and harmonization to 196 seats are not established by the archived sources. Historical count-derived scaffolding is retained without physical-layout certification: First rows 1–5, Main rows 7–35, MCE rows 7–11 (30 seats) plus row 23 (5 seats). Partial rows, furniture, wing range, exits and window-grid binding remain provisional, not consequences verified from aircraft door geometry. American publishes dimensions for its 196-seat A321neo; applicability to this 190-seat variant is unresolved. Existing approximate unsourced dimensions are preserved. Configuration quantity 10 is the neutral snapshot’s June 2026 figure; SEC December 31, 2025 A321neo total 84 and average 195 are type-wide evidence.

  2. Jul 14, 2026Initial creation of American ex-Alaska (non-ACF) A321neo config (20F/35N/135Y = 190) from the AAL FY2025 10-K (84 A321neo total) + Wikipedia AA fleet table (10-aircraft ex-Alaska sub-fleet, 190-seat split). Layout derived from counts and classic four-door A321 geometry.
