N351FR

This airframe, registered as N351FR, is an Airbus A320-251N with manufacturer's serial number 8913 completed in 2019. The aircraft is held in trust by UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE, a corporation based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and is registered in the US. The airframe was delivered in 2019 and is recorded under trustee ownership rather than a traditional airline operator, reflecting a financial-asset ownership model common in contemporary commercial aircraft registries. Registry and trustee entries are the principal notable administrative actions on record for this specific tail number.

The airframe is outfitted in a high-density single-class configuration with 190-seat capacity aimed at low-cost, high-density operations. Cabin fit reflects a single-class layout optimized for maximum passenger count rather than premium accommodations; specific onboard amenities or bespoke cabin modifications are not published beyond the class and seat count. With a 3,400 nm range and typical cruise of 473 kts, this example is well suited to short- to medium-haul trunk routes and dense point-to-point sectors operated from U.S. bases. Maintenance considerations align with the A320neo family standard practice, including LEAP-1A engine support contracts and airline- or lessor-driven heavy-check schedules; no unique maintenance status or airworthiness derogations are published for this tail number.

The Airbus A320-251N belongs to the A320neo family, positioned in the single-aisle, short- to medium-haul market niche emphasizing fuel efficiency and operating cost reductions through new-generation engines like the CFM LEAP-1A series. In a 190-seat high-density layout, this configuration competes directly with high-capacity variants of the Boeing 737 family and other A320neo variants in the low-cost carrier market. Buyer and charter demand for neo-family airframes is generally strong for operators seeking lower seat-mile costs, though high-density interiors can limit appeal for full-service operators. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe will reflect typical neo-family lifecycle factors: engine care for the LEAP-1A26 units, adherence to Airbus structural and systems life limits, and the administrative implications of trustee ownership for leasing or remarketing.
