N635FR

The airframe bearing tail number N635FR is an Airbus-built narrowbody completed in 2024, manufacturer serial number 11837. This specific A321-271NX is held on corporate title by Wilmington Trust Co Trustee (a corporation located in Wilmington, DE, US), a trustee ownership arrangement typical for airline fleet financing and lease security. The type exhibits a Frontier-specified, high-density all-economy configuration and has been operated in that layout since delivery. Ownership via a Wilmington Trust trustee vehicle indicates structured lease or asset-holding arrangements rather than direct airline ownership.

The airframe is outfitted in a Frontier high-density all-economy 246-seat layout intended for short- to medium-haul point-to-point and network routes within the carrier’s domestic and near-international footprint. The configuration prioritizes single-class capacity and yields high seat-mile economics for high-demand markets; avionics and systems are consistent with the A321-271NX family baseline and modernized airline fleet standards. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft variant include transcontinental and longer domestic sectors leveraging the roughly 4,000 nm maximum range and cruise speed around 470 kts, while operators monitor weight-and-balance and turnaround procedures closely because of the dense seating. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow fleet-level schedules under the operator’s heavy maintenance program and lessor-imposed return conditions given the trustee ownership structure.

The Airbus A321-271NX sits in the stretched, high-capacity end of the A320neo family, offering improved per-seat economics versus narrower single-aisle types and competing directly with high-density configurations of the Boeing 737 MAX 9/10. With modern geared turbofan powerplants like the PW1133GA-JM, the model targets airlines seeking extended range and higher payload capability; resale and lease marketability for a 2024-built, single-class A321NX remains strong where demand for dense domestic capacity persists. Operators and lessors weigh maintenance status, interior configuration, and trustee-held title arrangements when assessing remarketing or secondary-market placement.
