N368FR

This airframe, registered as N368FR, is an Airbus-built narrowbody delivered in 2020 as an Airbus A320-251N with manufacturer serial number 9549. Ownership is recorded to WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Wilmington, DE, US, reflecting a financial- or title-holding arrangement rather than direct airline ownership. The aircraft carries a United States registration and is documented with a high-density cabin fit noted as a Frontier configuration. The trustee ownership indicates the airframe is held for leasing, financing or securitization purposes rather than direct operation by the owner.

The airframe is fitted in a Frontier high-density single-class (190 seats) cabin configuration, optimized for short- to medium-haul, high-capacity service patterns typical of ultra-low-cost carriers. With the LEAP-1A engines and the NEO-type airframe improvements, the aircraft’s mission profile centers on dense, frequency-driven routes where per-seat economics are prioritized over premium cabin features. Avionics and systems conform to the A320neo family standard; maintenance considerations for this specific airframe will follow lease- or trustee-directed programs and standard A320neo maintenance tracking, including LEAP engine shop interval planning and airframe campaign scheduling. The trustee ownership may influence deployment flexibility, return conditions and remarketing actions at lease turn-in.

The Airbus A320-251N belongs to the A320neo family designed to offer improved fuel efficiency and lower operating costs relative to prior A320ceo variants, addressing the high-density single-aisle market. Competing models include the Boeing 737 MAX series and other narrowbodies offering similar seat-mile economics; the A320neo’s LEAP-1A engines provide a competitive thrust and fuel-burn profile for 3,400 nm range missions. Buyer and lessor demand for high-density-configured NEO airframes remains strong among low-cost and leisure carriers, while resale and maintenance considerations emphasize engine life, cabin condition, and owner/lessor-imposed return conditions tied to trustee-held assets.
