N450PA

The aircraft bearing tail number N450PA is a Boeing 747-46NF built by Boeing in 2000, carrying manufacturer serial number 30808. The airframe is owned by ATLAS AIR INC (a corporation based in White Plains, NY, US) and is registered in the US; this ownership represents the principal and current operator/home base association recorded for the type. There are no additional public entries for prior owners or registration transfers in the provided data, and valuation or condition figures are not published for this specific airframe. The combination of build year, serial and corporate ownership places the aircraft within the active freighter fleet of a large U.S.-based cargo operator.

The airframe is outfitted as a freighter with single-crew door (SCD) and nose cargo capability; the cabin is therefore dedicated to freight operations rather than passenger service. Typical mission profiles for this configuration include long-range cargo carriage across domestic and international routes consistent with a 4,455 nm range and cruise speeds near 504 kts, operating from the owner’s base in White Plains, NY, or other Atlas Air hubs. Specific avionics fit, supplementary cargo handling systems, and interior refurbishment records for this airframe are not published in the supplied data. Maintenance considerations for this airframe include standard 747-400F heavy maintenance and engine shop visits appropriate for the CF6-80C2 powerplants; any unique airframe maintenance history beyond the basic parameters is not provided.

The Boeing 747-46NF occupies a niche as a large, long-range, high-capacity freighter in the fixed-wing multi-engine category, offering transcontinental and intercontinental payload capability enabled by four CF6-80C2 engines. Its principal competitors in the large-freighter segment include other 747 variants and widebody freighters powered by comparable high-thrust turbofans; demand is driven by cargo charter markets and integrator operators. For prospective buyers or lessors, considerations center on remaining structural life, engine cycles on the 57,160 lbf CF6-80C2 engines, and the resale/operational value of a 2000-build freighter with nose-door capability.
