N415UP

This article covers airframe N415UP, a Boeing-built freighter produced in 1988 with manufacturer's serial number 23855. The airframe is a Boeing 757-24APF configured and registered in the US for package freight operations and is owned by UNITED PARCEL SERVICE CO, a corporation based in Louisville, KY, US. The aircraft’s formal registry entry reflects its corporate ownership and US registration; valuation and condition summaries are Not published. The airframe’s configuration and ownership tie it to hub-and-spoke express cargo operations centered on its owner’s Louisville base.

The airframe is fitted as a package freighter with a main deck palletized cargo arrangement and no passenger cabin, reflecting a pure freighter mission set. Registered and operated under corporate ownership by UNITED PARCEL SERVICE CO in Louisville, KY, its typical operational profile emphasizes medium- to long-range express cargo sectors consistent with a 3,900 nm ferry or revenue range and a cruise speed near 458 kts. The two PW2040 engines, each rated at 40,900 lbf, provide the thrust profile used to achieve a service ceiling of 42,000 ft, suitable for high-altitude, fuel-efficient cruise segments on transcontinental and regional international legs. Maintenance considerations are driven by its freighter configuration and corporate logistics support structure, with component and airframe servicing managed to sustain package operations from its Louisville hub.

The Boeing 757-24APF airframe represented here sits within the 757 family niche as a narrow-body, medium-to-long-range freighter variant offering a balance of payload and distance, exemplified by this airframe’s 3,900 nm range and 178-seat original certification (seating retained as a type datum). Buyers and operators seeking a freighter with the performance envelope described rely on available engine types such as the PW2040 for commonality and support. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its corporate freighter role, US registration, and lifecycle position for aircraft manufactured in 1988.
