N120UP

This airframe, tail number N120UP, is an Airbus freighter built in 2000 with manufacturer serial number 0805. The airframe is an instance of the Airbus A300F4-622R (A300-600F) produced by Airbus Industrie and is registered in the US. Ownership is recorded to UNITED PARCEL SERVICE CO, a corporation based in Louisville, KY, US, which operates the type as part of its main-deck freighter fleet; no other public registry transfers or notable historical incidents are published for this airframe. Condition and valuation specifics are not published in the supplied data.

The airframe is outfitted as a main-deck freighter with capacity for cargo pallets and containers and retains crew seating only on the flight deck and required attendant positions; there is no passenger cabin. Avionics are described as Honeywell/A310-derived cockpit avionics typical of the A300-600 family, although the exact fitment for this specific airframe is not specified in public sources. Operated by UNITED PARCEL SERVICE CO from its Louisville, Kentucky base, the aircraft’s mission profile is typical for large narrow‑body freighters: medium- to long-range scheduled cargo services carrying unitized freight between hubs and regional destinations within the aircraft’s 4,050 nm capability. Maintenance considerations align with heavy freighter operations—main-deck logistics handling, pallet/container restraint systems, and airframe/engine checks aligned to the PW4000 engine program.

The Airbus A300-600F family occupies a niche as an early-generation twin‑engine wide-ish freighter optimized for main-deck palletized shipments, offering long range and robust payload capability for its class. Competing types include older Boeing 767 freighter conversions and other wide‑body freighters in the medium‑payload segment. For operators and buyers, typical considerations include remaining structural fatigue life on a 2000-built airframe, PW4000 engine support and overhaul status, and avionics commonality with airline/operator fleets; resale and part-out value are influenced by the airframe’s freighter configuration and operator maintenance history.
