N431GT

This airframe, construction registered as N431GT, is a freighter conversion of the Boeing 747-4H6F(SCD) completed in 2006 with manufacturer serial number 29902. The airframe is listed as owned by ATLAS AIR INC (a corporation based in White Plains, NY, US) and is recorded on the US register; registered in the US is the primary notable registry action. The aircraft’s operational history centers on main-deck cargo service under its corporate owner, with available records indicating corporate ownership rather than individual or leasing transitions. Valuation and specific condition assessments are not published for this individual airframe in the supplied data.

The airframe is configured as a main-deck freighter with mechanized roller-floor cargo handling, supporting pallet and ULD capability suitable for large-block freight operations. With the 747-4H6F(SCD) conversion and the specified mechanized main-deck system, the aircraft is optimized for long-haul, heavy-cargo missions that require rapid load/unload cycles and standard heavy-lift palletized operations. Typical missions for this registration under corporate operation would focus on transcontinental and international freight lanes that make use of the aircraft’s range and high payload volume; specific route assignments are determined by the owner-operator. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe include the PW4056 engine type and the specialized freighter conversion systems, which demand operator-aligned component support and scheduled heavy checks consistent with large widebody freighters.

The Boeing 747-4H6F(SCD) airframe occupies a niche in the heavy long-range freighter market where high-volume main-deck capacity and palletized handling are priorities. Competing models in the large-freighter segment address similar mission sets, but the 747’s combination of range, ceiling, and mechanized main-deck systems maintains demand among integrators and ACMI/charter operators. Buyer and charter interest typically factors in engine type, remaining structural life, and the presence of mechanized cargo systems; for this airframe, the PW4056-equipped, main-deck freighter configuration will shape maintenance and resale considerations on the secondary market.
