N609FR

This airframe, registered as N609FR, is an Airbus A321-271NX completed in 2023 with manufacturer serial number 11149. The aircraft is owned by Wilmington Trust Co Trustee, a corporate trustee based in Wilmington, DE, US and carries a United States registration. The airframe is delivered new in a high-density layout and shows no publicly reported changes in operational ownership since manufacture; registration is held in the US. Condition and market valuation are not published in the supplied data.

The aircraft is fitted in a high-density all-economy cabin, described as 246 seats in a Frontier configuration, indicating a single-class, maximum-capacity layout optimized for short- to medium-haul point-to-point low-cost operations. Avionics and auxiliary equipment remain per the Airbus A321-271NX production standard (no bespoke fitment details were provided). Typical mission profiles for this configuration emphasize high-frequency, short- to medium-range routes up to the aircraft’s 4,000 nm capability and cruise operations near 447 kts, often on dense domestic or transcontinental sectors. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe follow narrowbody A321neo-series schedules and the Pratt & Whitney PW1133G engine common-support arrangements.

The Airbus A321-271NX represented by N609FR sits within the A321neo family as a high-capacity narrowbody designed to deliver improved fuel efficiency and range compared with previous A321 variants. With twin PW1133G geared turbofan engines producing 33,110 lbf each and a service ceiling of 39,000 ft, it competes in the market against similar high-density narrowbodies from both Airbus and Boeing aimed at low-cost and leisure carriers. Buyer and lessor demand typically focuses on seat-mile economics for dense single-class operations; resale and maintenance considerations center on engine shop visit cycles, cabin reconfiguration potential, and the aircraft’s remaining production-series support.
