Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N264UP, is a McDonnell Douglas MD-11F built in 2000 with manufacturer serial number 48800. It is owned by United Parcel Service Co. of Louisville, KY, US and configured as a main-deck freighter for cargo operations. The aircraft is registered in the US and operates under the corporate ownership structure of a major global logistics carrier; specific prior ownership history or notable registry actions are not published. Condition and valuation details for this particular airframe are not published in the provided data.
The airframe is laid out in a main-deck freighter (cargo) configuration, reflecting its dedicated role in unit-load and palletized express freight carriage for a large integrator. Avionics and equipment fit specifics are not published in the supplied data, but the MD-11F typically supports long-range transcontinental and intercontinental cargo missions; this airframe’s range of 3,945 nautical miles and cruise speed of 473 knots align with such mission profiles. Based at the owner’s operational hub in Louisville, KY, the aircraft’s maintenance and operational cycles would be managed within the operator’s established heavy-maintenance infrastructure; unique cabin amenities are not applicable given the freighter configuration.
As a McDonnell Douglas MD-11F, this airframe belongs to a three-engine, long-range cargo family positioned for high-volume freight operators and integrators. With three GE CF6-80C2D1F engines delivering 61,500 lbf each and a service ceiling of 43,000 ft, the type occupies a performance niche between older widebody freighters and newer twin-engine long-range conversions. Competing models in the cargo market include converted twinjets offering greater fuel efficiency, which affects buyer and lease demand; resale and maintenance considerations for this MD-11F are influenced by its age (built 2000) and its role within a large operator’s fleet maintenance program.
