N322SG

This airframe, registered as N322SG, is a Boeing 747-481 built in 2000 with manufacturer serial number 30322. It was manufactured by The Boeing Company and is owned by ATLAS AIR INC, a corporation based in Purchase, NY, US, which serves as its operator/home base for the type. The aircraft carries a US registration and has a passenger-capable certification allowing up to 660 seats; notable registry actions are Not published. Condition and valuation highlights are not published in the provided data, though its configuration flexibility for VIP and charter use is noted.

The airframe is delivered with a passenger-capable cabin layout certified to a type rating of up to 660 seats but is commonly reconfigured for VIP or charter operations when required, reflecting high interior flexibility. Standard long-range cruise capability and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft support transoceanic charter missions and ad hoc cargo or troop movements under the operator’s control. Avionics fit is not detailed in the provided data, so specific installed suites and navigation equipment are not published; maintenance considerations therefore default to 747-400 family norms under corporate heavy checks. Typical mission profiles for this registration under ATLAS AIR INC emphasize long-range point-to-point operations from its Purchase, New York base, with periodic reconfigurations for VIP/charter roles as requested.

The Boeing 747-481 variant occupies the long-range, high-capacity segment of the large widebody market, notable for high seat counts and extended endurance—here illustrated by a 7,285 nm range and 504 kts cruise speed. Competing models in the heavy, long-haul category include later-generation twinjets with higher fuel efficiency; however, the 747’s four-engine design and cabin volume still attract charter, VIP, and special-mission demand. Buyers and operators consider lifecycle maintenance intensity, availability of spare parts for the CF6-80C2A1 engines, and reconfiguration costs when assessing resale or continued operation of this airframe.
