N311FR

This entry describes airframe N311FR, an Airbus-built narrowbody registered in the United States and completed in 2017 with manufacturer's serial number 7642. The aircraft is a Airbus A320-251N and is held in corporate ownership by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a corporation based in Salt Lake City, UT, US. Registry details confirm a US registration; publicly recorded operator details and any further registry actions are not published in the supplied data. Ownership is noted as held by a trustee corporation in Salt Lake City, indicating financial or leasing arrangements rather than direct airline ownership.

The airframe is configured in a Frontier high-density single-class (approx. 186–190 economy seats) cabin layout suitable for high-capacity short- to medium-haul operations. Flight deck arrangements conform to the Airbus A320 family flight deck (EFIS, fly-by-wire architecture), providing the common avionics and control philosophy of the A320neo family. With two high-bypass LEAP-1A26 turbofans and the specified range and cruise profile, the aircraft is typically deployed on point-to-point scheduled services within the regional to transcontinental profile supported by its performance. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would align with corporate trustee ownership, where records and scheduling are generally managed in conjunction with the asset holder and the operating carrier under lease or contractual arrangement.

The Airbus A320-251N represented here shares the A320neo family attributes of increased fuel efficiency and higher-density seating capability relative to earlier narrowbody designs, driven in part by its LEAP engines. Its combination of approximately 190 seats, a 3,400 nm range and a 41,000 ft ceiling positions it for dense short- to medium-range markets where single-aisle economics and high seating density are prioritized. Market considerations for this airframe type typically focus on residual value tied to engine and airframe condition, cabin configuration, and lease status, with corporate trustee ownership often indicating asset management strategies within secondary market and leasing frameworks.
