It is an Airbus A300F4-622R configured and operated as a United Parcel Service main-deck freighter and is owned by UNITED PARCEL SERVICE CO, a corporation based in Louisville, KY, US. The aircraft carries a US registration and has served in the UPS cargo fleet; no public record of additional owners or lease transfers is presented in the supplied data.

The aircraft is fitted in a freighter main-deck cargo configuration typical of UPS freighters, reflecting a cabin arrangement focused on bulk and palletized cargo rather than passenger accommodations.

Based at the owner’s corporate hub in Louisville, KY, the airframe’s use profile centers on scheduled freight services, night-time feeder legs and trunk routes as part of the UPS network. Maintenance considerations are those common to the A300F4-622R freighter type and its twin Pratt & Whitney PW4158 powerplants; no unique modifications or amenity features are documented for this specific serial number.

The Airbus A300F4-622R occupies a medium to heavy freighter niche with transcontinental capability under the stated performance figures, competing historically with other converted or purpose-built freighters in the same payload and range class. Demand in the buyer and charter markets for this airframe is driven by cargo operator fleet needs and the continuing availability of common heavy-aircraft support infrastructure for its engines and airframe. Resale and maintenance considerations for this type typically hinge on airframe cycles, engine shop visit status, and the aircraft’s role within an operator fleet; specific resale metrics for this unit are not included in the supplied dataset.
