2017 Airbus A320-251N

N312FR is a Frontier Airlines A320-251N, serial 7768, built in 2017. A snippet from Airbus's Hamburg Finkenwerder news page records it as an A320-251N for Frontier Airlines dated November 9, 2017, consistent with that being its delivery timeframe. FAA registry data shows it held by Wells Fargo Bank Northwest NA as trustee from 2017, then Wells Fargo Trust Co NA as trustee also from 2017, and Bank of Utah as trustee from 2020, a pattern consistent with a leased rather than directly owned airframe. Over the observed year it flew 674 times for 1,295.9 hours before settling into a long ground stay of 154 days at Phoenix Goodyear Airport, a field known for aircraft storage and maintenance work. Based on that pattern, Stabilator infers N312FR is likely undergoing heavy maintenance, though this is a low-confidence read. Sister ships N313FR and N316FR are also registered to Bank of Utah as trustee and show time at the same Phoenix Goodyear field, while N317FR remains active out of San Francisco under a Wells Fargo trust.

Livery guess: Frontier Airlines. Snippet identifies the airframe as an A320-251N for Frontier Airlines
