N424UP

This airframe, registered as N424UP, is a Boeing-built freighter delivered in 1991 bearing manufacturer serial number 25369. It is configured as a main-deck full freighter and is owned by UNITED PARCEL SERVICE CO, a corporate owner based in Louisville, KY, US, which also serves as its operational home base. The aircraft is of United States registry (US) and, since manufacture, has been associated with cargo operations rather than passenger service. Notable registry notes include its continuous corporate ownership and operation in the UPS fleet, with the airframe’s age and freighter conversion reflecting the typical lifecycle and utilization profile for early-1990s Boeing 757 freighters.

The cabin is arranged as a full freighter (PF) main-deck cargo configuration, optimized for unit load device (ULD) and bulk cargo operations rather than passenger accommodation. Avionics fitment specifics are not published here, but the airframe’s mission profile centers on medium- to long-range cargo sectors within national and international networks consistent with UPS routing from Louisville, KY, US. Typical operations exploit the 757-24APF’s payload-range balance to serve transcontinental and regional overnight schedules; maintenance considerations for this airframe emphasize structural and systems checks appropriate to a 1991-built freighter and Pratt & Whitney PW2040 engine maintenance cycles. Unique amenities are not applicable given its dedicated freighter role.

The Boeing 757-24APF occupies a niche as a narrow-body, medium-range freighter offering comparatively high payload and range for a twin-engined platform, appealing to integrators and cargo carriers. Competing models in the freighter market include converted narrow- and widebody types where operators weigh payload efficiency, runway performance, and operating cost; the 757’s combination of 3,920 nm range and 41,700 lbf PW2040 thrust per engine supports versatile missions. Buyer demand tends toward cargo operators seeking dependable second-hand freighters, with resale and maintenance considerations influenced by airframe age (1991 build), commonality within fleets, and ongoing support for PW2040 engines.
