N402UP

The airframe bearing tail number N402UP is a Boeing-built freighter completed in 1987 as a Boeing 757-24APF with manufacturer serial number 23724. This specific unit is owned by United Parcel Service Co, a corporate operator based in Louisville, KY, United States, and is operated in a main-deck freighter configuration under United States registration (US). The aircraft’s documented history centers on commercial cargo service for its corporate owner, with no public record of alternative operators or major registry transfers in the supplied data. Valuation and condition assessments for this particular airframe are Not published.

The airframe is outfitted in a main-deck freighter configuration featuring a forward main-deck cargo door and lower-hold bulk cargo capacity, reflecting its role as a purpose-built freighter rather than a passenger conversion. Typical mission profiles for this configuration emphasize scheduled short- to medium-haul express cargo operations, leveraging the aircraft’s stated range of 3,150 nm and cruise speed of 458 kts to serve regional and transcontinental routes from the operator’s Louisville base. Avionics fit and specific maintenance program details are not provided in the data set; maintenance considerations for this type—given twin Pratt & Whitney PW2040 engines—would focus on typical 757 airframe and engine-line maintenance cycles and freighter-specific structural inspection points, particularly around the forward main-deck cargo door and lower-hold installations.

The Boeing 757-24APF occupies a niche in the fixed-wing multi-engine freighter market that balances medium-range payload capability with transcontinental flexibility, as evidenced by the combination of 40,900 lbf thrust engines and a service ceiling of 42,000 ft. Competing models in similar roles historically include narrow-body freighter conversions and purpose-built freighters from other manufacturers; demand for this class tends to be driven by integrators and cargo operators seeking high payload density with efficient cruise performance. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe would hinge on airframe hours, cycles, and freighter-specific modifications, none of which are provided in the supplied data.
