An unexpected incident involving a Frontier Airlines Airbus A320
(tail number N365FR) caused significant delays at
Charlotte Douglas International Airport on August 16, 2025.
A ground air-conditioning hose was reportedly sucked into the aircraft’s #1
engine and shredded to pieces during pre-departure ramp activity.
The affected flight, F93134, was scheduled to travel from
Charlotte to LaGuardia, but the damage rendered the aircraft non-serviceable.
Passengers were eventually transferred
to a replacement aircraft and departed approximately 9 hours later.
