Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N704FR, is an Airbus A321-211 built in 2015 with manufacturer serial number 6845. The airframe is owned by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee entity based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and is registered in the US. The aircraft has been operated in a high-density Frontier mainline cabin configuration and carries the build-standard signatures of Airbus S.A.S.; ownership is recorded under a corporate trustee rather than a traditional airline lessor, and valuation or detailed condition reports have not been published publicly. Notable registry actions are limited to U.S. registration entries under the current trustee ownership.
The airframe operates with a 199-seat single-class high-density economy (Frontier mainline layout) cabin tailored for short- to medium-haul, high-capacity trunk and leisure routes. Typical mission profiles for this configuration emphasize high-frequency, point-to-point domestic services where seat density and rapid turnarounds are priorities. Avionics and systems are consistent with Airbus A321-200-series standards equipped at build, with maintenance and heavy checks governed by U.S. civil aviation regulatory requirements; specific maintenance status or line-item history for this tail is not published. The CFM56-5B3/3 engines support common fleet spares interchangeability across operators of similar A320-family types, aiding operational continuity when deployed from major U.S. bases.
The Airbus A321-211 sits within the A320 family as a stretched narrowbody optimized for higher-capacity short- to medium-range routes, offering a cruise speed around 450 kts and transcontinental range near 3,200 nm for certain payloads. It competes with stretched variants of the Boeing 737 family in airline networks prioritizing seat-mile economics. For buyers or lessors, the A321’s high-density layouts, like this 199-seat example, drive strong secondary-market interest among low-cost carriers but can limit appeal for operators seeking premium or mixed-class cabins; maintenance considerations focus on airframe cycles and CFM56 engine supportability in the used market.
