NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Aviation Capital Group LLC (“ACG”) announced the delivery of one new Airbus A321neo aircraft on long-term lease to Frontier Airlines.
Powered by the ultra-efficient Pratt & Whitney GTF engines, this is the second of seven A321neo aircraft scheduled to deliver to the airline from ACG’s order book with Airbus. Traditional to Frontier Airlines, this A321neo will unveil a new special livery with ‘Bori the Coqui Llanero’ painted on the tail.
Airbus A321neo, Frontier’s best choice
For Frontier, the progressive addition of Airbus A321neo aircraft will allow them to increase seating capacity at several of their most popular bases, such as Orlando or Denver, to highly demanded sun and beach destinations both domestically and internationally.
“These additional A321neo aircraft allow us to triple the size of the airline by 2029,” said Barry Bifflie, President and CEO of Frontier Airlines.
“We are already the greenest airline in the U.S. with an already existing fleet that is 43% more fuel-efficient, on average per seat, than other U.S. airlines. The A321neo is expected to deliver nearly 120 ASM (Seat Per Mile Offered) per gallon, boosting further our industry-leading environmental efforts while debunking the myth that going green is a costly investment that can only be achieved in the future”, Biffle added.
The Airbus A321neo deliveries are scheduled to be completed between 2023 and 2029, joining Frontier’s previous order of 143 aircraft that will bring the airline’s total order to 234. By the end of 2029, the airline will have a fleet of 272 aircraft.
