N317UP

The airframe, registered N317UP, is a Boeing 767-34AF (767-300F) freighter manufactured by Boeing in 1997, carrying manufacturer serial number 27745. It is owned by UNITED PARCEL SERVICE CO of Louisville, KY, US, and is recorded on the U.S. registry as a main-deck cargo-configured jet. The aircraft’s corporate ownership and home base in Louisville align with its documented role as a dedicated freighter rather than a passenger transport. Notable registry details include its U.S. registration and freighter conversion status; specific valuation and detailed condition records are not published in the provided data.

This airframe is configured as a main-deck freighter with pallet/container capability and has no passenger cabin, reflecting its use in unit cargo operations rather than passenger service. Operated and maintained under corporate ownership by UNITED PARCEL SERVICE CO, the aircraft is suited to medium- to long-range express freight missions from its Louisville base. Typical mission profiles for this configuration would emphasize payload throughput and scheduled airlift rather than cabin amenities; specific avionics fit and interior outfitting details are not provided. Maintenance considerations for this individual aircraft follow freighter conversion standards, with attention to main-deck loading systems and structural inspections consistent with heavy freighter operations.

The Boeing 767-34AF (767-300F) family occupies a niche between narrowbody freighters and larger widebody cargo jets, offering transcontinental to transoceanic range while retaining efficient two-engine operations; the listed range of 3,225 nm and cruise of 470 kts illustrate that operational profile. Competing types in the same market niche typically include similar mid-capacity freighter conversions and newer twinjets aimed at cargo operators. For buyers and operators, considerations include the airframe’s age (built 1997), engine choice (GE CF6-80C2B7F), and freighter-specific maintenance items such as main-deck handling gear and structural fatigue inspections, all of which influence resale and continued operational value.
