N353FR

The airframe bearing registration N353FR is an Airbus-built A320neo, designated Airbus A320-251N (A320neo), completed in 2019 with manufacturer serial number 8977. Ownership is held by the corporate trustee UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE, based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, which indicates financial or lease-holding status rather than an operating carrier. The airframe is registered in the US; operator and home base information are Not published. Notable registry or valuation actions are Not published, and public condition highlights beyond factory specification are Not published.

The cabin of N353FR is configured in a single-class, high-density layout rated at approximately 190 seats, reflecting an airline-style short- to medium-haul passenger fit commonly used on dense domestic and regional trunk routes. Avionics and specific modifications are Not published; the factory A320neo fit typically includes modern flight decks consistent with the A320 family, but no individualized avionics upgrades are recorded in the provided data. Typical mission profiles supported by the airframe’s specification include high-frequency, short- to medium-range commercial services utilizing the 3,401 nm range and cruise speed of 470 kts, though exact operator route deployment is Not published. Maintenance considerations align with fleet-standard A320neo practices for LEAP-engined aircraft, with ownership by a trustee suggesting third-party lease or asset-management maintenance oversight.

The Airbus A320-251N (A320neo) occupied a market niche emphasizing fuel efficiency and reduced operating costs relative to previous A320ceo variants, driven by the incorporation of CFM INTL LEAP-1A26 engines delivering 27,120 lbf of thrust each. Competing models in the single-aisle segment include various A320neo family members and the Boeing 737 MAX series; this specific airframe’s high-density 190-seat layout targets operators prioritizing capacity on short- to medium-range sectors. Buyer and lease demand for A320neos has generally been strong, and resale or return conditions for a 2019-build airframe like N353FR would typically reflect recent manufacturing vintage and LEAP-engine commonality, though no specific valuation data is published.
