N712FR

The airframe bearing tail number N712FR is an Airbus A321-211 built in 2016 with manufacturer's serial number 7204. The airframe is recorded as owned by WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Wilmington, DE, US, and it carries a US registration. Operator and home base information are Not published in the supplied data; notable registry actions are Not published. The aircraft is valued at $50,000,000, reflecting a 2016-build narrowbody in a high-density configuration intended for short- to medium-haul high-utilization service.

This specific A321-211 is fitted in a 199-seat Frontier high-density single-class layout, indicating a high-capacity, short- to medium-range passenger mission profile with limited premium seating. Avionics fitment and operator-configured systems are Not published in the supplied data; however the aircraft’s performance envelope—cruise of 454 kts and ceiling of 39,700 ft—aligns with typical single-aisle, high-utilization point-to-point operations. The dual CFM56-5B3/3 engines provide commonality with many legacy A320-family operators, which can simplify maintenance logistics when supported by a large MRO network. Regular maintenance considerations for this airframe will reflect its high-density seating and potential for intensive flight cycles associated with low-fare carrier deployment.

The Airbus A321-211 occupies the higher-capacity end of the original A320 family, offering extended seating density relative to A320 variants while retaining similar systems and cockpit commonality. With a range of 2,242 nm and a 199-seat Frontier layout, this airframe targets dense short- to medium-haul markets where seat-mile economics are prioritized over long-range capability. Competing models in the same mission set include high-density configurations of the Boeing 737-800 and later 737-8 series; resale and lease demand for a 2016 A321 in this configuration will be influenced by fleet commonality, engine support for the CFM56-5B3/3, and the airframe’s maintenance status.
