N407UP

This airframe, registered as N407UP, is a Boeing 757-24A(PF) built in 1988 with manufacturer serial number 23729. It is owned by United Parcel Service Co (a corporation based in Louisville, KY, US) and carries a United States registration. The aircraft has been configured as a main-deck freighter conversion and is operated from the owner’s Louisville base for cargo operations under UPS control. Registry details show the aircraft operating under US civil registration as N407UP, and ownership has been held by the corporate operator in Louisville since conversion to freight configuration.

The airframe features a Main-deck freighter conversion, up to 15 standard pallets, providing a typical narrow-body high-density cargo layout suited to express-package and freight feeder missions. Avionics fit and specific cockpit equipment are not published for this individual serial, but operations are consistent with fixed-wing multi-engine freight operations conducted from the owner’s Louisville, Kentucky base. Typical mission profiles for this configuration include medium-range continental routes where the 3,150 nm range and cruise at 458 kts balance payload capability and sector frequency. Maintenance considerations focus on freighter-specific structural and door modifications associated with the main-deck conversion and the twin PW2040 engine maintenance program.

The Boeing 757-24A(PF) occupies a performance niche for high-capacity narrow-body freighter operations, offering a combination of thrust from two Pratt & Whitney PW2040 engines and a service ceiling of 42,000 ft that supports efficient medium- to long-range cargo sectors. Competing models in the market typically include other converted narrow-body types adapted for palletized main-deck freight; buyer and operator demand favors airframes with proven freighter conversions and established maintenance histories. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial reflect the broader 757 freighter market dynamics, where availability of conversion, spares, and engine support influence lifecycle value.
