Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N665FR, is an Airbus-built narrowbody completed in 2025 with manufacturer serial number 12390. The owner is BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Salt Lake City, UT, and the aircraft is entered on the US registry. The airframe is an Airbus A321-271NX delivered with a high-density Frontier single-class fit; its new-build status and trustee ownership are the primary notations in the registration history. Initial registration to a corporate trustee in 2025 is the principal recorded ownership action for this airframe.

This specific A321-271NX is configured in a high-density single-class layout described as Y240 Frontier configuration, accommodating 246 passengers in a dense economy arrangement intended for short- to medium-haul high-frequency routes. Typical mission profiles for this configuration emphasize slot-constrained, high-demand domestic operations where seat-mile economics are prioritized; the airframe’s design range of 4,000 nm and cruise speed of 447 kts allow transcontinental US routing and some transatlantic ferry options if required. Avionics and maintenance records are not published in the supplied data, but the twin PW1133G-JM geared turbofan engines are a newer-generation powerplant requiring specific GTF-support logistics and scheduled shop visits. Trustee ownership suggests commercial leasing or collateral status rather than direct operator possession.

The A321-271NX sits within Airbus’s A321neo family as a high-capacity, single-aisle performer aimed at replacing older narrowbodies and enabling lower unit costs on dense routes. With two PW1133G-JM engines producing 33,110 lbf each, the type competes with modern variants of the Boeing 737 MAX series and other A321 variants for airline demand focused on range and fuel efficiency. Buyers and lessors value the family for strong resale appeal in the medium-haul market, though high-density Y240 configurations can narrow the secondary market to carriers seeking similar single-class layouts or require seat reconfiguration for broader appeal.
