N405KZ

This airframe, registered as N405KZ, is a factory-built Boeing 747-400F completed in 2007 with manufacturer serial number 36132. The airframe is recorded in the U.S. registry and is held by WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Wilmington, DE, US; this ownership entry is notable as a trust-held corporate registration. The aircraft is configured and documented for dedicated freighter operations with an eight-person flight/crew complement recorded. Valuation and detailed condition assessments for this specific airframe are Not published.

The cabin and main deck of N405KZ are arranged in a freighter main-deck pallet/palletized cargo configuration suited to large unit-load devices and palletized freight; the record also notes an eight-seat flight/crew complement for operational personnel. Avionics fit and specific systems equipment are not published in the provided data; however, typical operations for this configuration prioritize long-range cargo missions within the aircraft’s stated 4,455 nm range and cruise profile around 506 kts. The registered owner’s Wilmington, Delaware, address indicates corporate-trust ownership rather than direct airline operator registration, suggesting the aircraft may be operated by a lessee or third-party cargo operator under commercial ACMI, charters, or scheduled freight services. Maintenance considerations for this airframe type include heavy structural and engine preservation tasks commensurate with freighter operations; specific maintenance status for this serial is Not published.

The Boeing 747-400F airframe represented by N405KZ sits within the large-capacity, long-range freighter niche, offering four high-thrust GE CF6-80C2B1F engines and wide main-deck pallet capability. In the market, this family competes with other heavy freighters for major cargo carriers and ACMI operators, where demand is driven by payload and range rather than passenger amenities. Buyer and lessor interest for aircraft of this generation typically factors heavy maintenance, parts availability, and lease structure; the trustee ownership indicates potential off-balance-sheet financing or third-party leasing arrangements that can influence resale or remarketing timelines.
