N427UP

This airframe, registration N427UP, is a Boeing 757-24A(PF) (marketed as the 757-200PF) built in 1992 by The Boeing Company with manufacturer serial number 25458. The aircraft is owned by United Parcel Service Co, a corporation based in Louisville, KY, US, and is registered in US registry. The airframe was delivered as a purpose-built freighter and retains its original cargo configuration; its age and freight-dedicated build are noteworthy factors in condition assessments and valuation discussions. Long-term corporate ownership by United Parcel Service Co situates the aircraft within scheduled express cargo operations based from its Louisville home base.

The aircraft was built as a 757-200PF with a main-deck pallet/roller system and is configured strictly for cargo operations; there are no passenger seats published for this freighter. Typical mission profiles for this airframe emphasize medium- to long-range express cargo routes that leverage a 3,915 nm range and high single-aisle cruise speed near 458 knots. Operated and maintained under corporate oversight by United Parcel Service Co, the airplane is suited to routine scheduled freight rotations from its Louisville, KY base. Maintenance considerations specific to this airframe include freighter-type wear from palletized loading systems and age-related inspections consistent with a 1992 manufacture date.

The Boeing 757-24A(PF) occupies a niche as a narrow-body freighter with transcontinental and intercontinental capability for express cargo operators, offering a certified ceiling of 42,650 ft and the performance figures listed above. Its competitive set in the used freighter market typically includes other converted narrow-body freighters, but this airframe’s value proposition is tied to its original factory freighter construction and long-standing operation by United Parcel Service Co. Resale and maintenance considerations are influenced by the 1992 build year and continuous cargo service, factors that inform lifecycle planning and asset valuation.
