N452UP

This airframe, registered as N452UP, is a Boeing-built freighter originally manufactured in 1995 with manufacturer serial number 25473. The airframe is a Boeing 757-24APF operated and owned by UNITED PARCEL SERVICE CO of Louisville, KY, US, and carries a United States registration. The airframe reflects a conversion to an all-cargo freighter role — package freighter conversion — and its known lifecycle centers on service with a single corporate owner and operator based in Louisville. No separate valuation data is published for this specific serial in the provided dataset.

As configured for United Parcel Service, this airframe is an all-cargo freighter with main-deck cargo and lower-hold container capability, reflecting a dedicated package freighter layout rather than passenger transport. Typical mission profiles for this configuration emphasize medium- to long-distance scheduled and ad hoc cargo flights within UPS’s network, exploiting the aircraft’s transcontinental range and cruise performance. The installation is focused on freight handling systems and container restraint rather than passenger amenities; maintenance considerations emphasize structural and systems checks associated with high-cycle cargo operations and freighter door and container-handling equipment. The operator’s home base in Louisville positions the type to serve integrator hub-and-spoke operations.

The Boeing 757-24APF family occupies a niche for operators requiring a narrow-body, medium-range freighter with higher payload density than smaller regional freighters while offering better runway performance and single-aisle economics compared with larger widebodies. Competing types in similar roles include converted versions of other narrow-bodies, but the 757’s combination of range (2,895 nm) and cruise (458 kts) keeps it in demand for integrator and dedicated-cargo operators. Maintenance and resale considerations for this serial reflect typical 757 factors: aging airframe cycle count, supportability of the RB211-535E4 powerplants, and the value placed on freighter-converted airframes by cargo operators.
