N169UP

This airframe, registered as N169UP, is an Airbus A300F4-622R built in 2005 with manufacturer's serial number 864. The freighter has been owned and operated by United Parcel Service Co of Louisville, KY, US, and is recorded on the US registry. Delivered in 2005 into UPS service, the aircraft has been employed in the operator’s main-deck cargo configuration throughout its career. Notable registry activity is limited to its US registration under UPS; public valuation and detailed condition reports are not published here.

The cabin of N169UP is configured as a freighter in a main-deck cargo layout, reflecting its dedicated role in package and freight transport rather than passenger service. Operated from Louisville, KY, the aircraft typically conducts medium- to long-range cargo missions consistent with its 4,050 nm range and high-cruise speed, supporting hub-and-spoke logistics operations. Avionics and specific onboard systems are not detailed in the supplied data; maintenance considerations focus on heavy freighter inspection cycles typical for fixed-wing multi-engine cargo types and the airframe’s installation of twin high-thrust Pratt & Whitney powerplants.

The Airbus A300F4-622R sits within the widebody freighter market as a twin-engine, medium-to-long-range workhorse suited to high-volume main-deck palletized cargo. With a cruise speed of 484 kts and service ceiling of 40,000 ft, it occupies a performance niche between smaller narrowbody freighters and the larger long-haul quadjets. Market competition historically includes other converted and purpose-built freighters offering comparable payload-range trade-offs. For operators and buyers, considerations center on engine support for the PW4158, the airframe’s age since its 2005 build, and residual value influenced by demand for main-deck freighters in express logistics fleets.
