This first special scheme at Frontier is the result of a partnership with Pratt & Whitney which will provide the airline's 144-strong A320neo family order fleet with GTF engines (Note Frontier has already taken delivery of 81 A320neo with Leap engines from a previous order prior to this aircraft). Frontier traditionally gives names to the animals adorning the tail of its aircraft and this one is no exception, carrying the "Frederick the Bald Eagle" name; note the first name is a wink to P&W founder
Frederick B. Rentschler and the eagle the one used in P&W's logo. The aircraft delivery was duly celebrated after its arrival in Tampa on October 11, 2022.
A second and third aircraft with unique bald eagle tail designs appeared shortly thereafter: N604FR, named Maria and N605FR, named Edward.
