N429UP

This airframe, registered as N429UP, is a Boeing-built airliner completed in 1992 with manufacturer serial number 25460. The airframe is owned by United Parcel Service Co, a corporation based in Louisville, KY, US, and operates under the US registry. The airframe has been subject to a main-deck freighter conversion (PF) and has been operated in a cargo role for its corporate owner; registry and ownership have remained tied to the UPS corporate fleet rather than passing through multiple commercial passenger operators. Condition and valuation specifics are not published for this individual aircraft.

The airframe carries a main-deck freighter conversion (PF) cabin layout, reflecting its modification from passenger to freight service; in this configuration, the main deck is dedicated to cargo handling rather than passenger accommodation despite the original type certificated seating capacity of 178. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft under its owner emphasize medium- to long-range cargo routes within the aircraft’s 3,150 nm range and utilize cruising speeds near 458 kts and operational ceilings up to 42,000 ft. As a corporate-operated freighter, avionics fit and specific operational equipage are maintained to cargo airline standards by the owner, and maintenance considerations focus on the airframe and freighter conversion systems unique to this single-prefix freighter configuration.

The airframe is a member of the Boeing 757 family, represented here by a Boeing 757-24APF production line example with serial 25460; the PW2040-powered configuration provides thrust ratings of 40,100 lbf per engine suitable for the medium-long-range cargo niche. In market terms, this configuration serves operators requiring significant main-deck cargo volume and transcontinental range; maintenance and resale considerations tend to center on the freighter conversion status, airframe hours, and operator-specific modifications rather than original passenger fittings.
