N430FR

This airframe, registered as N430FR, is an Airbus A320-271N (A320neo) completed in 2025 with manufacturer serial number 12991. The airframe is owned and operated by Frontier Airlines, a United States-based corporation, and is registered in the US registry. Delivered in 2025 to Frontier Airlines, the aircraft joined the carrier’s narrow-body fleet for domestic and short-haul international operations. Not published valuation and specific condition reports are on record with the operator and civil aviation authorities, while standard post-delivery acceptance and entry-into-service checks were completed prior to revenue operations.

The airframe conforms to the A320neo family’s typical single-aisle, twin-engine configuration as operated by Frontier Airlines, configured for high-density short- to medium-haul missions within North America and nearby international markets. Cabin layout and exact seat count for N430FR are operator-specific and not published here; Frontier typically fits A320neo-type aircraft to maximize cost-per-seat efficiency on point-to-point routes. Avionics and systems reflect Airbus standard A320neo fitment for 2025 deliveries, including the neo-series flight deck and engine monitoring systems compatible with the PW1127G-JM geared turbofan. Maintenance follows Frontier’s approved continuing airworthiness program with airframe serial 12991 tracked through standard line maintenance and scheduled checks.

The Airbus A320-271N (A320neo) is positioned in the single-aisle, narrow-body market as a fuel-efficient replacement for earlier A320ceo variants, offering improved fuel burn and range suitable for transcontinental and regional trunk routes—here exemplified by N430FR’s 3,400 nm capability and 447 kts cruise. Primary competition comes from contemporary variants of the Boeing 737 MAX family in similar seating and mission profiles. For operators and lessors, neo-series aircraft like this airframe present attractive operating economics but also require adherence to PW1000G-series engine maintenance practices and lifecycle planning reflecting modern narrow-body market demand.
