Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N385FR is an Airbus A320-251N manufactured by Airbus in 2021 with serial 10622. Ownership is recorded as Frontier Airlines, a corporation based in Denver, CO, US, and the aircraft carries US registration.

This specific A320-251N is outfitted with an airline high-density single-aisle passenger cabin configured to Frontier’s economy-focused seating plan, described as airline-specific and oriented toward high-density short- to medium-haul service. The flight deck is the standard Airbus A320 digital glass cockpit with fly-by-wire controls and the manufacturer’s integrated avionics suite. Typical operational use for this airframe, given its cabin and range, aligns with domestic and near-international point-to-point scheduled passenger services from its operator’s Denver, CO base. Maintenance considerations follow the Airbus A320neo family practices for LEAP-1A-powered aircraft, with operator-specific configurations and high-utilization airline cycles expected for a high-density short-haul configuration.
The Airbus A320-251N of this serial sits within the A320neo family addressing airline demand for improved fuel efficiency and higher density seating on single-aisle routes. With a 3,400 nm range, the type targets short- to medium-range sectors where airlines prioritize per-seat economics and commonality with A320 family fleets. Competing models in this market niche include other single-aisle, re-engined designs; buyer and lease demand tend to focus on fleet commonality, engine maintenance track records, and operator configuration when assessing resale or secondary-market value for an airframe like N385FR.
