Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N359FR, is an Airbus-built narrowbody delivered in 2019 with manufacturer serial number 9177. The aircraft is an Airbus A320-251N owned by UMB BANK NA TRUSTEE (a corporation located in Salt Lake City, UT, US), and it is registered in the US. The airframe carries a high-density Frontier Airlines cabin configuration and is recorded in contemporary registries as a US-registered A320neo family aircraft; 2019 delivery and trustee ownership are the principal documented milestones. Valuation and detailed condition reports are not published for this specific serial in the provided data.
The airframe is outfitted in a high-density single-class economy cabin with 190 seats in the Frontier high-density layout, reflecting deployment for short- to medium-haul, high-capacity low-cost carrier operations. Typical mission profiles for this configuration prioritize higher seating density and quick turnarounds on domestic and near-international routes within the A320neo performance envelope, supported by a cruise speed of 450 kts and a range of 3,510 nm. Avionics and specific line-fit options are not published for this serial; maintenance considerations for this airframe focus on LEAP-1A engine support and nacelle/winglet inspections typical of the A320neo family. The trustee ownership structure signals financial or lease-related arrangements commonly used by airlines to manage fleet assets.
The Airbus A320-251N belongs to the A320neo family, positioned as a fuel-efficient single-aisle workhorse for high-density short- to medium-range routes; it competes primarily with the Boeing 737 MAX series in the same segment. With two CFM International LEAP-1A26 engines producing 27,120 lbf each, the airframe combines improved fuel burn and lower per-seat operating costs, which appeals to low-cost carriers seeking high-capacity seating. Resale and maintenance considerations revolve around engine shop visits and the robust aftermarket for neo-series components; high-density-configured airframes like this one are often valued for their immediate utility to carriers focused on domestic point-to-point networks.
