N156UP

This airframe, registered as N156UP, is an Airbus Airbus A300F4-622R (A300-600F) freighter built in 2004 with manufacturer serial number 0845. The airframe is owned by UNITED PARCEL SERVICE CO, a corporation based in Louisville, KY, US, and is registered in the US. Notable registry identifiers include its US registration and the corporate ownership; the airframe carries an estimated market valuation of $10,000,000, reflecting its freighter configuration and serviceable status.

The aircraft is outfitted in a freighter main-deck palletized cargo configuration with underfloor holds, optimized for unit load devices and bulk cargo rather than passenger service. Avionics consist of a two-crew A310/A300-600 glass cockpit featuring EFIS/FMS style displays suitable for modern airline operational requirements. Typical mission profiles for this specific airframe center on medium- to long-range cargo routes consistent with express freight operations from the owner’s base in Louisville, KY; its performance numbers support transcontinental and transoceanic legs within operator payload and range constraints. Maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect freighter-specific wear patterns associated with main-deck pallet operations and underfloor holds, and its valuation indicates continued utility for revenue cargo service under corporate operation.

The Airbus A300-600F family occupies a niche as a widebody freighter offering a balance of payload capacity and range for express and scheduled cargo operators. With two Pratt & Whitney PW4158 engines delivering 58,000 lbf each and a 4,050 nm range at 450 kts, the type competes with older widebody freighters converted from passenger variants and some smaller dedicated freighters. Buyer demand typically targets cargo operators seeking a palletized main deck and underfloor capability; resale and maintenance considerations hinge on airframe hours, structural condition, and freighter conversion specifics for models like this Airbus A300F4-622R (A300-600F).
