Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N708FR, is an Airbus A321-211 built in 2016 with manufacturer serial number 7042. The aircraft is owned and operated by Frontier Airlines, Inc. (a United States corporation) and has remained in that corporate fleet since delivery. The airframe is registered in the US and no other ownership transfers or third-party leases are published for this specific serial. Condition highlights indicate it is configured in a high-density layout consistent with the operator’s utilization profile for short- to medium-haul low-cost network operations.
The aircraft carries a high-density single-class cabin used by Frontier, approximately 230 economy seats furnished with slimline seating; specific galley or seat map variants for this serial are not published. Avionics fit for this airframe is not published, while operationally it is deployed on the carrier’s short- to medium-range route network consistent with its 3,024 nm range and cruise performance. Based in the United States under Frontier’s corporate operation, maintenance considerations reflect typical A321 schedules and engine support for the CFM56-5B3 line, with the high-density configuration influencing cabin maintenance cycles and turnaround planning.
The Airbus A321-211 airframe occupies a performance niche within the single-aisle, medium-range market, offering higher seat counts in a narrowbody platform—here demonstrated by the 230-seat layout. Competing models in the same market role typically include other A321 variants and stretched single-aisles from other manufacturers, where buyer demand favors carriers seeking dense, cost-effective seating. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial reflect typical A321 lifecycle factors, including engine shop visits for CFM56-5B3 units and airframe checks consistent with the aircraft’s 2016 build year.
