N380FR

N380FR is a 2021 Airbus A320-251N (A320neo) msn 10512 delivered to Frontier Airlines on 2021-05-19. The airframe carries Frontier's high-density single-class layout (Y186) and the special "Verde the Resplendent Quetzal" tail artwork. The A320-251N specification pairs a modern Airbus A320 fuselage with two CFM LEAP-1A26 turbofan engines and a sharklet wing; the type is optimized for short- to medium-haul high-frequency airline operations.

Configured for 186 economy seats, N380FR operates Frontier domestic and near-international routes; recent movements show the aircraft on typical network sectors (examples: KMCO→TJPS on 2025-06-28, KTPA→KTTN on 2025-06-27). The aircraft uses a standard A320 flight deck (Airbus integrated EFIS/FMS avionics) and the LEAP-1A26 engines rated around 27,120 lbf each. Routine airline maintenance and line checks are indicated by continuous active service since delivery; a minor pushback/towing damage event on 2024-04-19 was recorded and repaired.

The A320neo family is the market-leading fuel-efficient narrowbody launched with LEAP or PW1100G engines; typical long-range capability for the A320neo is ~3,400 nm with cruise around Mach 0.78 (≈473 kt). The -251N (LEAP-1A26) variant combines improved fuel burn and reduced operating cost versus earlier ceo models and competes directly with the 737 MAX 8. N380FR, as a 2021-delivered neo, represents the modern narrowbody asset class that brokers and operators value for low trip cost and high utilization on point-to-point and short transcontinental missions.
