N312UP

This airframe, registered as N312UP, is a Boeing-built widebody freighter completed in 1996 with manufacturer designation Boeing and manufacturer's serial number 27763. It is owned by United Parcel Service Co (a corporation based in Louisville, KY, US) and carries a United States civil registration (US). The airframe is delivered and maintained in an all-cargo freighter configuration and, according to available records, has been operated by its corporate owner from its Louisville base; specific prior operators or registry transfer events are not published. Valuation and public condition reports for this particular airframe are not published.

The aircraft is configured as an all-cargo freighter with a main-deck cargo arrangement and lower-deck ULD positions (All-cargo freighter configuration (main-deck cargo with lower-deck ULD positions)). Typical missions for this configuration prioritize medium- to long-range cargo sectors consistent with the airframe’s published range of 3,225 nm and a cruise speed near 470 kts, supporting express and scheduled freight operations. Avionics fit is not separately published for this specific serial, but operation by a major integrator like United Parcel Service Co implies maintenance and operational practices tailored to high-utilization cargo service at a corporate hub in Louisville, KY. Routine maintenance considerations include the twin CF6-80C2B7F engines rated at 60,030 lbf per unit and the airframe’s extended-range systems given its ceiling capability of 43,000 ft.

The airframe is a member of the Boeing 767-34AF(ER) family, which occupies a performance niche as a medium-to-long-range twin widebody freighter providing efficient transcontinental and transoceanic cargo capability. Competing models in similar missions include converted narrow- and widebody freighters from other manufacturers, but the 767 ER freighter remains popular for integrators seeking range, payload, and lower operating costs. Buyer and charter demand for such freighters is shaped by payload flexibility and the availability of CF6-80 series engine support; maintenance and resale considerations typically reflect engine shop visit cycles, structural fatigue life tied to cargo operations, and completeness of lower-deck ULD equipment.
