N434UP

This airframe, registered as N434UP, is a freighter conversion of a Boeing-built narrow-body originally completed in 1993 with manufacturer serial number 25465. The airframe is recorded as owned by UNITED PARCEL SERVICE CO (a corporation based in Louisville, KY, US) and is registered in the US registry. As a purpose-operated cargo freighter (APF configuration) the aircraft has been maintained and operated under the operator’s corporate fleet processes; specific earlier operators or transfer dates are not published. Notable registry actions and formal valuation or condition summaries for this specific tail are not published in the supplied data.

N434UP is configured in a freighter/cargo layout as an APF (Additional Purchase Freighter) conversion, optimized for unit load devices and bulk cargo rather than passenger accommodation. Typical mission profiles for this airframe involve medium- to long-range continental and transcontinental cargo sectors consistent with a 3,900 nm ferry/range capability and cruise speed of 458 kts, operating from the owner’s primary hub in Louisville, KY. Avionics and systems fit are in line with Boeing 757-200 freighter standards, though no specific avionics suite or retrofit items are published for this airframe. Routine maintenance considerations follow corporate heavy-visit schedules for Pratt & Whitney PW2040-powered 757 freighters, with particular attention to engine monitoring and structural checks associated with age since its 1993 manufacture.

The Boeing 757-24APF occupies a niche as a medium-capacity, transcontinental freighter with higher cruise speed and ceiling relative to regional turboprops and better payload-range than smaller narrow-bodies. It competes in the secondary market with converted Airbus A321 freighters and remaining 737-800/900ER freighter variants for similar missions. Demand among integrators and express parcel operators remains steady for 757 freighters due to their payload and range balance; maintenance and resale considerations for this 1993-built airframe focus on remaining structural life, engine shop visit cycles for PW2040s, and the availability of freighter conversion or avionics upgrade records.
