N453UP

This airframe, registered as N453UP, is a Boeing-built freighter completed in 1995 with manufacturer serial number 25474. It is a Boeing 757-24APF configured in a palletized freight (PF) cargo layout and is registered in the US. Ownership is recorded to the corporation UNITED PARCEL SERVICE CO based in Louisville, KY, US, which acts as its operator and home-base for commercial cargo operations. The aircraft’s registry and corporate ownership reflect long-term operation within UPS’s Louisville-centered logistics network.

The airframe is operated in a freighter cabin role with a PF cargo configuration, optimized for palletized cargo handling across domestic and international feeder routes. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft include medium-range, high-frequency express package routes originating from the operator’s Louisville, Kentucky hub, where quick turn times and robust payload handling are priorities. Avionics and specific fit details are not published here, but maintenance considerations for this individual 1995-build 757 include aging airframe and powerplant lifecycle management typical of RB211-equipped freighters, along with adherence to operator-specific heavy maintenance schedules and cargo door/structural inspections. Unique amenities are not applicable given the pure freighter layout.

The Boeing 757-24APF occupies a niche as a medium-range, narrow-body freighter with higher payload stability and runway performance compared with regional jets and larger widebodies for point-to-point express cargo. Competing platforms in the same mission space include converted narrow-body types and newer freighter conversions, but the RB211-powered 757 retains demand among express integrators for its payload-to-range efficiency. Market and resale considerations for this airframe hinge on its 1995 build year, serial 25474, and continued airworthiness under UPS maintenance regimes, with lifecycle costs influenced by RB211 maintenance cycles and conversion/upgrade history.
