Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N356FR is an Airbus-built narrowbody completed in 2019, serial number 9065, and operated by Frontier Airlines of the United States. Manufactured by Airbus as an Airbus A320-251N, this specific airframe entered service with its current corporate owner and has remained on the U.S. registry (US) since delivery. Delivered new to Frontier Airlines in 2019, the airframe has followed a single-operator ownership timeline with routine commercial passenger deployment and standard line maintenance under the carrier’s maintenance program. No major registry transfers or lease returns are recorded for this individual aircraft in the provided dataset.
The aircraft operates as a typical A320neo-series single-aisle passenger jet in Frontier’s fleet, configured for short- to medium-haul point-to-point services from the carrier’s U.S. bases. Cabin layout and seating count are not published in the supplied data, though A320neo family airframes are commonly fitted with high-density single-class or mixed-class layouts depending on operator policy. Avionics fit follows Airbus standard for the A320neo line along with systems integration compatible with airline operational programs; routine maintenance considerations largely center on LEAP engine care cycles and airframe A-checks driven by utilization. Typical mission profiles for this registration include domestic and near-international sectors consistent with a 3,500 nm range capability.
The Airbus A320-251N occupies the single-aisle, medium-range market niche aimed at operators seeking fuel-efficient replacement for earlier A320ceo and competing models such as the Boeing 737 MAX family. With CFM International LEAP-1A26 powerplants, the type emphasizes improved fuel burn and lower emissions, factors that influence buyer and lease demand. Maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe reflect the broader neo-series market dynamics: strong operator demand for fuel-efficient narrowbodies but attention to lifecycle engine support and airframe utilization when assessing long-term value.
