N401UP

This airframe, registered as N401UP, is a Boeing-built freighter of the 757 family designated Boeing 757-24APF. Manufactured in 1987 with manufacturer serial number 23723, the airframe is recorded in the U.S. registry and bears a U.S. registration. Owned by UNITED PARCEL SERVICE CO of Louisville, KY, the aircraft is held by a corporate operator with a long-standing cargo base in that city. Registry notes identify the airframe as a main-deck freighter conversion and list the owning entity and location; valuation and condition summaries are not published in the supplied data.

The type is configured as a main-deck freighter with cargo pallet positions and no passenger cabin, reflecting its role as a pure freighter rather than a combi or passenger transport. Typical mission profiles for this airframe class and configuration focus on medium- to long-range cargo services, leveraging its 3,150 nm range and twin PW2040 thrust ratings for transcontinental and regional heavy-feeder routes. Operator base details supplied identify the owner location in Louisville, KY, indicating alignment with major cargo hub operations. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft would follow freighter schedules and structural inspections associated with high-cycle, high-payload usage typical of main-deck pallet operations; specific avionics fit or recent maintenance status is not included in the provided data.

The Boeing 757-200 series, here represented by the Boeing 757-24APF, occupies a performance niche balancing payload and range with efficient twin-engine cruise at approximately 458 kts and a service ceiling of 42,000 ft. In the freight conversion market, this model competes with narrowbody freighter conversions offering similar payload-range capabilities and is often selected for dense regional and transcontinental express operations. Buyer and operator demand for freighter 757s tends to reflect cargo network requirements, airframe cycle life, and the availability of suitable conversion and heavy-maintenance events; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on the conversion status and cumulative usage recorded since its 1987 manufacture.
