N654FR

The airframe bearing tail number N654FR is an Airbus A321-271NX built in 2024 with manufacturer's serial number 12174. The airframe is registered in the US and is owned by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a corporation based in Salt Lake City, UT, US. It is configured for passenger service and entered service with a high-density layout operated for Frontier Airlines; registry entries reflect its recent manufacture and transfer into trust ownership. Valuation and detailed condition reports are not published publicly for this specific airframe.

This airframe is fitted in a Frontier Airlines high-density single-aisle passenger configuration with 246 seats, optimized for short- to medium-haul high-demand routes. Cabin layout emphasizes maximum seating capacity rather than premium amenities, aligning with low-cost carrier utilization patterns; in-service operations typically involve frequent daily sectors within the continental United States and transborder routes compatible with a 3,500 nm range. Avionics and systems adhere to the Airbus A321neo family standard fit for the model; maintenance intervals and checks follow operator and manufacturer schedules for the A321-271NX and the IAE PW1133GA-JM engines. Due to trust ownership, routine administrative oversight and lien considerations may influence maintenance record management.

The Airbus A321-271NX occupies the single-aisle, high-capacity segment of the market, offering extended range capability (here 3,500 nm) combined with high seating density (246 seats), making it attractive for low-cost and high-demand short- to medium-haul operations. Powered by the IAE PW1133GA-JM at 33,110 lbf thrust each, it competes with other stretched narrowbodies in the neo generation for replacement and growth routes. Buyer and leasing demand tends to favor examples with modern engines and high-density interiors for network carriers and LCCs; resale and maintenance considerations center on engine cycles, cabin refit needs, and remaining structural/component life for a 2024-build airframe.
