They will be able to transport up to 230 passengers in a single class, and their propulsion will be provided by CFM56-5B engines, CFM International. The current Frontier Airlines fleet consists of 57 aircraft (35 x A319 and 22 x A320). In addition to the 18 A321 aircraft remaining in command, Frontier Airlines also has 18 A319neo (with new engines), 62 A320neo and 2 A320CEO aircraft.

All A321 Frontier Airlines aircraft will be equipped with Sharklets terminations, 2,4-meter / 94-inch high ridge ends. These reduce fuel consumption by up to 4%, increase the range by up to 100 miles (185 km) or increase the transport load by up to 450 kg.
