N622FR

This entry covers the airframe registered as N622FR, an Airbus A321-271NX completed in 2023 with manufacturer serial number 11480. The airframe is owned and operated by Frontier Airlines (airline, United States) and is carried on the United States registry. Notable registry actions include its post-manufacture certification and placement into a high-density fleet role; it is recorded as a fixed-wing multi-engine transport configured for single-class operations. Condition and valuation notes are operator-held; public summaries emphasize its role as a new-delivery, high-utilization short- to medium-haul narrowbody within Frontier’s fleet.

The aircraft is fitted with a high-density single-class cabin, certified as Y240 for 240 economy seats, reflecting its mission as a maximally dense short- to medium-haul airliner. Avionics are the Airbus A320-family integrated digital flightdeck including a glass cockpit and fly-by-wire controls, standard for the A321neo-derived A321-271NX variant and supporting modern operational efficiencies and crew commonality. Typical route and mission profiles for this airframe under Frontier Airlines comprise high-frequency point-to-point domestic and transcontinental services where range up to 4,000 nm and cruise of approximately 473 kts allow extended single-aisle sectors. Maintenance considerations align with high-utilization airline practice, including engine-specific support for the Pratt & Whitney PW1133G-JM geared turbofan and line maintenance compatible with A320-family systems.

The Airbus A321-271NX occupies the high-capacity, longer-range single-aisle niche within the A320neo family, offering increased seating density and extended range versus earlier A321ceo variants. Competing models include high-density configurations of the Boeing 737 MAX family and other A321neo subtypes; the combination of 240 seats and 4,000 nm range positions this airframe for dense leisure and point-to-point network deployment. Buyer and operator demand favors such high-density A321neos for low-cost carriers seeking seat-mile economics, while maintenance and resale considerations emphasize engine program enrollment and airframe interior refurbishment cycles when transitioning between operators.
