N330UP

This airframe, registered as N330UP, is a Boeing 767-34AF(ER) built by Boeing Commercial Airplanes in 1999 with manufacturer's serial number 27756. It is owned and operated by United Parcel Service Co. (a corporation based in Louisville, KY, US) and carries a US civil registration; entered the owner's fleet in 1999. The airframe is maintained in a main-deck freighter configuration for cargo operations out of UPS’s Louisville hub, with its regulatory and operational history centered on cargo service and routine commercial registry actions consistent with large freighter operations.

The airframe is configured as a main-deck freighter with full main-deck pallet/container capability and lower-deck container carriage; there is no passenger cabin, so crew accommodations are limited to flight and cockpit facilities. Typical mission profiles for N330UP include medium- to long-range express cargo routes within UPS’s scheduled network, exploiting the extended-range capability of the -34AF(ER) variant. Avionics fit and specific avionics upgrades are not published here, but operational practice emphasizes high-utilization maintenance cycles and scheduled heavy checks typical of a corporate-owned freighter operating from a major hub. Maintenance considerations focus on freighter conversion structural inspections, main-deck cargo restraint systems, and lower-deck container handling gear unique to this aircraft’s role.

The Boeing 767-34AF(ER) occupies a niche for medium long-range twin-jet freighter operations, offering a balance of range, payload capacity and fuel efficiency relative to older widebodies. Competing models in the same mission space include mid-life widebody freighters from both Boeing and Airbus families; buyer demand for this configuration is driven by integrators and dedicated cargo operators. Resale and maintenance considerations reflect the airframe’s high-cycle cargo usage, freighter conversion elements, and parts availability for the GE CF6-80C2 series engines.
