N949FR

This article describes a single Airbus A319-112 airframe, registered as N949FR, built in 2006 with manufacturer serial number 2857. The aircraft is owned and operated by Frontier Airlines, a corporation based in Denver, CO, US, and is registered in the US civilian registry. The airframe is categorized as fixed-wing multi-engine; notable registry actions include its initial US registration and continuous operation by Frontier from its Denver base. Valuation/condition highlights: Not published.

The aircraft is fitted with a single-class economy cabin configured as 150-seat single-class economy (Y150), oriented for high-density short- to medium-haul operations typical of low-cost carrier service patterns. Operated from Frontier Airlines’ Denver hub, this airframe typically serves domestic and transcontinental routes within its 3,750 nm range and the performance envelope defined by a 39,000 ft ceiling. Avionics and specific interior fit details for this individual serial are operator-standard for A319s in Frontier’s fleet; routine maintenance is conducted under the airline’s established heavy- and line-maintenance programs. Unique amenities or special modifications for this particular tail are not published.

The Airbus A319-112 airframe represented by N949FR belongs to the A320 family, a narrow-body series positioned for short- to medium-range commercial service with efficient per-seat economics in dense single-aisle markets. With twin CFM56-5B6/P engines delivering 23,500 lbf of thrust apiece and a typical 150-seat layout, it competes with smaller variants of the Boeing 737 family for airline route deployment and replacement. Buyer and charter demand for such airframes centers on domestic carriers and leisure operators; maintenance and resale considerations for a 2006-built airframe focus on life-limited components and mid-life cabin refurbishment cycles.
