Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N235FR, is an Airbus-built A320-214 completed in 2016 with manufacturer serial number 7272. The airframe is held in trust by UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE (a corporation) located in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and is registered in the US. The current ownership is recorded under the trustee arrangement rather than an operating airline, and the operator/home base is not published in the available data. Notable registry action includes its U.S. registration under the tail N235FR, and the aircraft is configured in a high-density single-class layout consistent with a Frontier Airlines-type configuration.
The aircraft carries a high-density single-class cabin, listed as 182 seats in a Frontier configuration, optimized for short- to medium-haul network operations within its 3,350 nm range and cruise speed of 470 kts. Avionics fitment specifics are not published for this individual airframe, but as an A320-214 it employs the family-standard flight deck architecture and systems common to the A320ceo generation. Typical mission profiles for this configuration emphasize point-to-point scheduled service and high-utilization short-haul rotations; maintenance considerations focus on CFM56-5B engine upkeep and airframe checks appropriate for a 2016-build narrowbody. Operator details and base of operations are not published in the supplied data.
The Airbus A320-214 belongs to the A320 family, positioned in the single-aisle, narrow-body sector for short- to medium-range commercial transport with a service ceiling of 39,000 ft and commonality advantages across the family. Competing models include the Boeing 737-800 series and other A320ceo variants; demand typically centers on carriers seeking high seat density and efficient short-haul economics. For buyers and lessors, considerations for this airframe include CFM56-5B engine maintenance status, the high-density 182-seat cabin fit, and the trustee-style ownership structure recorded under UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE, which can affect transfer and remarketing processes.
