2016 Airbus A320-251N

N301FR is a 2016 Airbus A320-251N, serial 7141, delivered to Frontier Airlines on 20 October 2016 as the carrier's first A320neo. The FAA registry shows it held by Wells Fargo as trustee beginning in 2016, then by Bank of Utah as trustee from 2023. Over the most recent observed year the aircraft flew 572 flights totaling 1037 hours before its chapters show a long stay at KMZJ, Pinal Airpark, lasting 158 days and still ongoing, a location associated with aircraft storage. Frontier has separately disclosed plans to return batches of leased A320neo aircraft to AerCap, including a 2Q26 return of twenty-four A320-200Ns and a plan to return 13 leased A320neos early, though no source confirms this specific tail is part of either return. Stabilator's inferred chapter, that N301FR is parked in storage, is labeled likely rather than confirmed.

Livery guess: Frontier Airlines "Wilbur the Whitetail" tail livery. A photo snippet shows N301FR wearing Wilbur the Whitetail tail art as Frontier's first A320neo
