Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N651FR, is an Airbus-built short‑to‑medium range single‑aisle delivered in 2024 with manufacturer serial number 11950. It is an Airbus A321-271NX configured and documented in trust ownership as BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE (a Corporation based in Salt Lake City, UT, US). The US registration and trust holding are recorded; registration actions include assignment to the trustee entity and placement on the US registry. Operator and home-base details are not published for this specific tail, though the cabin is fitted to a high‑density layout marketed as Frontier Y240 / high-density economy, indicating a commercial low‑fare operator mission profile. The airframe, built by Airbus S.A.S., entered service-new in 2024 and is recorded as a contemporary, in-production model with modern systems and typical condition for a recently manufactured aircraft.

The subject A321-271NX is configured in a high‑density single‑aisle cabin with Frontier Y240 / high-density economy seating for 246 passengers, optimized for short‑to‑medium haul, high‑utilization point‑to‑point routes. The flight deck is equipped with an Airbus glass cockpit and full fly‑by‑wire controls, consistent with the A320neo family commonality that supports operator pilot training and operations. Typical missions for this fit include domestic and transcontinental service within the 4,000 nm operational radius at cruise speeds around 516 kts, with maintenance profiles reflecting the latest geared turbofan engines (PW1133G‑JM) and manufacturer support pathways. Specific operator base and maintenance provider data are not published for this registration.

The A321‑271NX is a member of the Airbus A321neo family, offering high‑capacity, fuel‑efficient operations in the single‑aisle market niche for dense short‑to‑medium haul routes. With PW1133G‑JM powerplants and a 4,000 nm range, it competes with high‑capacity variants of competing narrowbodies, addressing strong demand from low‑cost carriers and high‑density network operators. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on the modern engine type and fly‑by‑wire systems, plus the implications of a trust ownership structure (held by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE) for lease, financing, and title transfer processes.
