N128UP

This airframe, registered as N128UP, is an Airbus-built freighter completed in 2000 with manufacturer serial number 812. The airframe is a factory-built Airbus A300F4-622R and is owned by United Parcel Service Co., a corporation based in the United States, and carries a US registration. The entry identifies ownership and basic registry details but does not list intermediate operators or specific notable registry actions beyond its corporate ownership and national registration; maintenance condition and market valuation details are not published in the supplied data.

This specific A300 freighter features a dedicated cargo configuration: a main deck palletized freighter layout with no passenger cabin. Its flightdeck is equipped with the A300-600 / A310-derived two-crew digital avionics suite, reflecting a modernized cockpit common to later A300 variants and enabling operations with a two-pilot crew. Typical mission profiles for this airframe type and operator emphasize medium- to long-range cargo routes within the aircraft's published range of 4,050 nm, operated from UPS bases and hubs in the United States. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow freighter-focused practices, emphasizing main-deck pallet restraint systems, cargo-door and floor servicing, and the airframe-specific Pratt & Whitney PW4158 engine maintenance program.

The Airbus A300F4-622R occupies a niche as a medium-widebody freighter offering substantial main-deck pallet capacity and transcontinental range for express cargo operators. Competing types in its market segment historically include older Boeing widebody freighters and converted passenger-to-freighter platforms, with buyer and operator demand driven by payload, range, and fleet commonality. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its specialized freighter configuration, life-limited components associated with heavy cargo duty, and value influenced by operator support and remaining structural/airframe hours under the owning corporation.
