N405UP

This airframe, registered as N405UP, is a Boeing-built freighter completed in 1987 with manufacturer serial number 23727. It is a converted main-deck package freighter of the Boeing 757-24A(PF) variant and is held in corporate ownership by United Parcel Service Co. (a corporation), registered in the US. The airframe’s corporate ownership and US registration reflect its use in integrated parcel and cargo operations; notable registry actions are limited to its corporate registration and conversion to a main-deck freighter configuration. Condition and valuation details are not published in the supplied data.

The aircraft is fitted in a main-deck freighter configuration (package freighter), optimized for bulk parcel carriage on the primary deck rather than passenger accommodation. Avionics fitment specifics are not provided; however, as a 757 freighter platform, it operates typical cargo avionics and systems suited for line operations. Typical mission profiles for this airframe type include medium- to long-range scheduled cargo routes within and between continents consistent with a 3,905 nm range and cruise of 458 kts, supporting hub-and-spoke parcel networks. Maintenance considerations center on freighter conversion systems and the two high-bypass Pratt & Whitney PW2040 engines, whose rated thrust of 41,700 lbf each drives payload-range capability; routine heavy maintenance and structural inspections follow operator and regulatory intervals for commercial cargo operations.

The Boeing 757-24A(PF) occupies a niche as a narrow-body, medium-capacity freighter with transcontinental and transoceanic range capabilities when configured for cargo. Its performance—cruise around 458 kts and service ceiling 42,000 ft—compares favorably with other converted narrow-body freighters, offering improved runway performance and payload flexibility. Market demand is typically driven by integrators and cargo operators seeking main-deck volume and range; maintenance and resale considerations emphasize airframe cycles, freighter conversion status, and the lifecycle of the PW2040 engines.
