N449UP

This airframe, registered as N449UP, is a Boeing 757-24APF built by The Boeing Company in 1995 with manufacturer's serial number 27738. The aircraft is owned by United Parcel Service Co, a corporation headquartered in Louisville, KY, US, and is operated in UPS's freight network from its Louisville hub. No public record of other ownership transfers or civilian registries is indicated, and valuation or condition summaries are not published. The registry country is listed as US, and the airframe is maintained and utilized in a cargo configuration consistent with dedicated freighter operations.

This specific 757 carries a Main-deck freighter (PF) conversion; cargo hold configuration rather than passenger cabin, reflecting its role as a package and freight transporter rather than a passenger airliner. Typical mission profiles emphasize medium-haul trunk routes within continental North America and transcontinental services where the airframe’s range of 3,150 nm and cruise speed of 458 kts allow efficient rotation between major hubs. Avionics fit and specific onboard systems are operator-standardized to UPS specifications; maintenance considerations focus on cargo floor strength, main-deck cargo handling systems, and Rolls‑Royce RB211 series engine support programs. Based at the owner’s Louisville operations center, routine heavy checks follow type-specific cycles managed under UPS’s in-house maintenance organization.

The Boeing 757-24APF belongs to the 757 family, positioned for operators requiring a narrow-body freighter with transcontinental capability and higher payload capacity than typical regional jets. With twin RB211-535E4 powerplants delivering 40,105 lbf each, the type offers a balance of performance and fuel efficiency for medium‑density cargo flows. Competing freighter choices include other converted narrow‑body types; resale and maintenance considerations emphasize airframe hours, engine shop visit status, and the value impact of the PF main‑deck conversion. Operators like UPS leverage the 757’s combination of payload, range, and airport performance in dense scheduled freight networks.
