N431UP

This airframe, registered as N431UP, is a Boeing 757-24APF built in 1993 with manufacturer serial number 25462. The freighter has been owned by United Parcel Service Co, a corporation based in Louisville, KY, US, which also serves as its principal operator and home base for scheduled cargo operations. The aircraft is registered in the US and is configured and maintained for main-deck palletized cargo carriage rather than passenger service. Condition and valuation data are not published in the supplied dataset.

The airframe is a dedicated freighter with a main-deck palletized cargo cabin and no standard passenger seating, optimized for unit-load and express package operations typical of major integrators. Avionics fit and specific onboard systems are not specified in the provided data; maintenance and operational practices follow corporate fleet standards for a multi-engine, fixed-wing freighter of this type. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include medium- to long-range domestic and transcontinental routes within the aircraft’s 3,900 nm range and cruise speed of 458 kts, operating from the owner’s Louisville base. Unique considerations for this aircraft include palletized main-deck loading configurations and freighter-specific maintenance cycles associated with high-utilization cargo operations.

The Boeing 757-24APF occupies a niche as a narrow-body, medium-range freighter offering relatively high payload capacity and long-range performance compared with older narrow-body conversions. Powered by twin Pratt & Whitney PW2040 engines producing 40,900 lbf each, it competes with other converted and factory-built narrow-body freighters in demand from integrators and freight operators. Buyer and operator demand generally favors airframes with remaining structural life and efficient engine types; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on remaining airframe cycles, freighter conversion pedigree, and operator-specific maintenance records.
