Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N390FR, is an Airbus A320-251N (A320neo) built in 2022 with manufacturer serial number 10790. It is owned and operated by Frontier Airlines, a Denver-based corporation located in Denver, CO, US, and is registered in the United States. The aircraft entered service in a high-density configuration for its operator and has followed a straightforward ownership timeline, remaining with Frontier since delivery. Condition and valuation highlights center on its recent build year and operator-focused interior, positioning it as a low-cycle, modern single-aisle airliner in Frontier’s fleet.
The airframe is configured in a high-density single-class economy layout of approximately 186 seats consistent with Frontier Airlines’ low-cost model. Avionics are the standard Airbus A320 family flight deck suite as fitted on A320/A320neo types, supporting modern navigation and flight management capability. Typical missions for this aircraft include high-frequency short- to medium-haul domestic and transcontinental services within the range capability, offering the operator flexibility for both dense domestic sectors and longer thin routes up to 3,500 nm. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft reflect new-build LEAP-1A engine type support and Airbus neo-series structural and systems commonality with other A320neo family aircraft in Frontier’s fleet.
The Airbus A320-251N (A320neo) occupies the single-aisle, medium-range market niche, offering improved fuel efficiency and lower per-seat operating costs relative to prior-generation A320ceo models. Its primary competitors include modern single-aisle types from Boeing and other A320neo variants, with demand focused on low-cost carriers and high-density operations. For buyers and lessors, considerations include LEAP engine maintenance planning, residual value supported by strong airline interest, and fleet commonality benefits for operators like Frontier Airlines that deploy high-density A320neo configurations.
