The Airbus A321 is the largest member of the A320 family. Frontier Airlines is known for its animal-themed tails; this particular aircraft features \'Steve the Eagle\'.

Fleet Rarity

Frontier has a sizable A321 fleet; the A321 overall is common, but each animal tail is unique to an individual aircraft.

Record Flights

Safety & Events

A321s have been involved in routine non-fatal incidents such as bird strikes, go-arounds, and minor mechanical issues, but have a strong safety record.

Still in active commercial service in 2024.
