Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N655FR, is an Airbus A321-271NX (A321neo) built in 2024 with manufacturer serial number 12176. Ownership is held by Frontier Airlines (a corporation based in the United States), and the aircraft carries a US registration. The airframe's administrative history is concise: owned and operated by Frontier Airlines since manufacture, with registry actions consolidated under the United States civil register. Public valuation or condition-specific appraisals for this specific ship are not published.
The airframe is outfitted in a high-density single-class configuration with 240 economy seats (Y240), reflecting a point-to-point, high-capacity short- to medium-haul mission profile. Typical operational employment leverages the type's extended range of 4,000 nm and cruise speed of 470 kts to serve longer thin‑to‑thick domestic and transcontinental sectors within the United States market. Being powered by two Pratt & Whitney PW1100G-JM geared turbofan engines, this aircraft follows the operator's fleet-level maintenance and operational practices for the PW1100G family, including any manufacturer-recommended engine program specifics and shop visit planning appropriate to a 2024-build airframe. Avionics and cabin systems are representative of the A321neo specification used by the operator in a single-class layout.
As an Airbus A321-271NX (A321neo) variant, this airframe occupies a high-capacity single-aisle niche that balances increased seating density (240 seats) with transcontinental range (4,000 nm) and modern geared turbofan propulsion (PW1100G-JM). The combination of capacity, range and cruise performance supports operators seeking unit-cost reductions on dense leisure and domestic trunk routes. For fleet managers and secondary-market buyers, considerations include maintenance planning for PW1100G-JM engines, the high-density cabin refit implications for residual value, and utilization profiles that reflect heavier cycle rates typical of high-density, single-class operations.
