N311UP

The airframe bearing tail number N311UP is a Boeing 767-300F originally built in 1996, manufacturer serial number 27741. The airframe is owned and operated by UNITED PARCEL SERVICE CO, based in Louisville, KY, US, and is registered in the US. Notable registry and ownership history include its continued use in a main-deck freighter configuration for its corporate owner; valuation and condition assessments place the aircraft at an estimated $60,000,000 in market value. The freighter has been maintained and operated in a cargo role with routine operator-specific maintenance programs typical of large express carriers.

The aircraft’s cabin is arranged as a main-deck freighter configured for palletized/containerized cargo in the standard 767-300F layout, optimized for unit load device operations and rapid ground handling cycles. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include domestic and long-range overnight express freight routes from its operator base in Louisville, KY, US, exploiting the type’s transcontinental and regional payload-range capabilities. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on the twin GE CF6-80C2 engine type and associated airframe age-related inspections given its 1996 build year; operator-specific heavy checks and avionics service programs are applied to sustain reliability in high-utilization cargo service.

The Boeing 767-300F occupies a mid-size widebody freighter niche, offering a balance of payload, range, and operating economics suitable for express carriers and integrators. Competing models in the same mission space typically include other mid-size widebody freighters; market demand remains driven by cargo operators seeking palletized main-deck capacity and proven airframe maturity. Resale and maintenance considerations reflect the airframe’s 1996 vintage and commonality of the CF6-80C2 engine family, which supports parts availability but also necessitates ongoing structural and systems inspections as dictated by operator maintenance programs.
