N422UP

This airframe, registered as N422UP, is a Boeing 757-24A(PF) built by Boeing in 1991 with manufacturer's serial number 25324. It is owned by United Parcel Service (UPS), a corporation based in Louisville, KY, US, and is registered in the US. The aircraft operates as a purpose-converted freighter in UPS service, based on the carrier’s Louisville hub. Owned and operated by UPS for cargo operations, the airframe represents an early-1990s production 757 maintained within a major integrator fleet.

The airframe is configured as a Cargo (main-deck freighter) and serves typical integrator missions, hauling palletized and containerized freight on scheduled and ad hoc routes. With a cruise speed of 458 kts and a range of 3,900 nm, this 757-24A(PF) is well suited to medium- to long-range trunk routes linking regional hubs and long domestic or near-international sectors from its Louisville base. As a fixed-wing multi-engine freighter, its two Pratt & Whitney PW2040 engines and main-deck cargo layout reflect standard freighter conversion practices; ongoing maintenance follows operator program requirements to support intensive daily cycle operations. Avionics and specific interior freighter modifications are consistent with the PF (passenger-to-freighter) conversion designation.

The Boeing 757-24A(PF) sits in the medium narrow-body freighter niche, offering a balance of payload, range (3,900 nm) and cruise performance (458 kts) attractive to integrators and dedicated cargo operators. Powered by twin PW2040 engines, the type competes in the market with other narrow-body freighter conversions for route flexibility and cost-efficient stage lengths. Given its 1991 build date and role within UPS, considerations for operators and buyers typically include airframe cycles, aging systems, and the logistics advantages of operating within a larger maintenance and parts network.
