Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered N334FR, is an Airbus A320-251N (A320neo) built in 2018 with manufacturer serial number 8306. The aircraft is owned and operated by Frontier Airlines, a corporation based in the United States, and carries a US registration. Entered service in 2018 for Frontier, the airframe is configured in a high-density layout consistent with the owner’s single-class strategy and has seen typical fleet utilization for short- to medium-haul scheduled operations; no separate ownership transfers or noteworthy registry actions beyond initial entry into the Frontier fleet are published.
The cabin on this airframe is a high-density single-class layout, noted as approximately 186 Y seats / Frontier configuration, designed for maximum economy-seat capacity in scheduled domestic and transborder service. Avionics and systems fit follow the A320neo line standard for the type, supporting typical point-to-point airline operations within the listed 3,400 nm range and cruise profile near 450 kts. Operating from Frontier’s United States bases, the aircraft is primarily used on short- to medium-haul routes where seat density and fuel-efficient engines provide commercial efficiencies. Maintenance and operational planning for this specific airframe center on the twin CFM International LEAP-1A26 engines and standard A320neo airframe inspection cycles as applied across Frontier’s fleet.
The Airbus A320-251N (A320neo) to which this airframe belongs occupies the single-aisle, narrow-body market niche focused on improved fuel efficiency and operational economics relative to previous A320ceo variants. With a 3,400 nm range and high-density 186-seat layout, platforms like this serve carriers emphasizing high-capacity short- to medium-haul networks and compete with later-generation narrowbodies from other manufacturers. Buyer demand and resale considerations for this serial involve the modern LEAP engines and commonality with other A320neo-series airframes; such factors influence maintenance planning and residual value within the narrow-body secondary market.
