N440UP

This airframe, registered as N440UP, is a freighter conversion of the Boeing 757-24APF built by Boeing in 1994 with manufacturer serial number 25471. It is owned by UNITED PARCEL SERVICE CO (corporation) of Louisville, KY, US, which operates it from its Louisville hub under the US registry. The aircraft’s documented valuation is $18,000,000, reflecting typical market values for mid-1990s converted narrow‑body freighters in operational condition. Notable registry entries are limited to the supplied ownership and registration details; there are no other recorded transfers or de-registrations in the provided data.

The aircraft is fitted in a main-deck freighter configuration as a PF (passenger-to-freighter) conversion, featuring a cargo handling and roller floor tailored for unit load devices and bulk cargo operations. Operated by its owner, UNITED PARCEL SERVICE CO, the airframe is typically employed on medium-range cargo missions that take advantage of its nearly 2,900 nm range and efficient cruise speed for domestic and regional UPS trunk routes from the Louisville hub. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft center on its RB211-535E4 powerplants and the freighter conversion systems (cargo door, roller floor and handling equipment), which require operator-specific servicing programs consistent with a corporate freighter fleet.

The Boeing 757-24APF occupies a niche as a narrow‑body, medium-range freighter offering higher payload and range than earlier narrowbodies while retaining runway and airport compatibility for regional and transcontinental cargo services. Competing types in the secondary freighter market include other converted narrow‑bodies; buyer demand typically focuses on mission flexibility and remaining engine/airframe life. For this airframe, the combination of its RB211 engines, 1994 build year, and a stated value of $18,000,000 informs maintenance planning and resale considerations, where engine cycles, freighter modification status and operator maintenance records drive marketability.
