N331FR

The airframe registered N331FR is an Airbus A320-251N (A320neo) built by Airbus S.A.S. and completed in 2018 with manufacturer serial number 8239. It is owned and operated by Frontier Airlines, Inc., a corporation based in Denver, CO, US, and carries a US registration. Delivered to its current owner in 2018, this specific A320neo is configured and maintained for high-density mainline operations out of Frontier’s Denver base and reflects the carrier’s single-class, low-fare service model. No public registry actions or valuation details beyond operator ownership have been published for this individual airframe.

This airframe is fitted in a high-density single-class layout marketed as Frontier 186 seats, utilizing Recaro SL3710 seats throughout the cabin to maximize capacity. Typical mission profiles for the configuration and its published range of 3,400 nm include short- to medium-haul mainline routes and transcontinental domestic sectors operated from Frontier’s Denver hub, where turnaround and seat-density economics are prioritized. Avionics and systems are consistent with the A320neo designation, while maintenance considerations for this particular aircraft focus on LEAP-1A engine support and high-utilization line maintenance aligned with Frontier’s fleet programs.

As an Airbus A320-251N (A320neo) airframe, serial 8239 occupies the single-aisle, medium-range market niche emphasizing improved fuel efficiency and capacity compared with earlier narrowbody types. With a cruise speed of 447 kts and a service ceiling of 39,800 ft, the type serves airlines seeking dense seating and efficient stage lengths. Owner/operator demand for this configuration is driven by carriers prioritizing higher seat counts and lower per-seat costs; maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe therefore center on engine lifecycle management for the CFM LEAP-1A26 and the economics of high-density cabin refits.
