Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N409FR, is an Airbus-built narrowbody of model Airbus A320-271N constructed in 2025 with manufacturer serial number 12900. The aircraft is owned and operated by Frontier Airlines, a corporation based in the United States, and is registered on the US registry. Entered into service in 2025 under Frontier Airlines ownership, this individual airframe has a build specification consistent with Airbus A320neo family production for short- to medium-haul commercial operations and carries the US registration prefix. Maintenance and valuation details are typical for new-production single-aisle types of this vintage, with condition described as factory-new at delivery.
The aircraft is configured for fixed-wing multi-engine scheduled airline service under Frontier Airlines' operational control, based in the United States. Cabin layout and seating specifics are not published here; however, as a member of the A320neo family it typically supports single-aisle, high-density short- to medium-haul missions. Avionics and systems are standard Airbus fit for the A320-271N subvariant, optimized for fuel-efficient cruise at approximately 470 kts and operations up to 41,000 ft. Routine maintenance follows manufacturer and operator programs for Pratt & Whitney geared turbofan-equipped A320neos, with particular attention to PW1127G-JM engine maintenance intervals and airframe checks typical for early-life airframes.
The Airbus A320-271N occupies the narrowbody single-aisle market niche for efficient short- to medium-range operations, offering a listed range of 3,400 nm that supports extended domestic and transborder missions within its operator’s network. Competing models include other A320neo family members and rival narrowbodies in the same thrust and mission class; buyer and charter demand remains strong for late-production A320neos. Maintenance and resale considerations for this specific airframe center on the modern PW1127G-JM engines and new-build airframe condition, factors that typically support favorable lifecycle operating economics and residual value for well-managed carrier fleets.
