N466UP

This airframe, registered as N466UP, is a Boeing-built freighter delivered in 1997 with manufacturer serial number 25482. It is a converted freighter, listed as a Boeing 757-24A(PF), and is registered in the US to UNITED PARCEL SERVICE CO (a corporation based in Louisville, KY, US). The Type and registration reflect its long-term use in a dedicated all-cargo role under a corporate operator; continuous commercial registry with UPS is the principal ownership highlight. Notable registry actions are limited to the US registration and operator assignment; public valuation figures are not published for this individual airframe.

The aircraft is configured as an all-cargo freighter with main-deck pallet/cargo capability and a two‑crew flight deck, a layout optimized for palletized express and package feeder operations. Power is provided by two Rolls‑Royce RB211-535E4 turbofan engines, supporting the aircraft’s cruise and range performance and aligning with UPS operational logistics. Based from Louisville, KY, US under UNITED PARCEL SERVICE CO, typical mission profiles are medium-haul trunk and feeder routes within the 3,150 nm capability, operating at typical cruise speeds near 458 kts and flight levels up to 42,000 ft. Maintenance considerations for this airframe focus on freighter-specific systems (main-deck pallet restraint and cargo handling gear) and the lifecycle planning associated with a 1997-built airframe in continuous commercial service.

The Boeing 757-24A(PF) sits in a niche between narrowbody passenger transports and larger widebody freighters, offering higher cruise speed and payload-range capability suited to express cargo operators. Competing choices in the used freighter market address similar mission profiles but may vary in engine type, range, and operational costs; the RB211-535E4 fit is a defining characteristic for maintenance and parts support. Demand among integrators and cargo operators remains tied to airframe age, conversion status, and operational economics; a 1997-built freighter like N466UP typically attracts operators seeking proven medium-range payload performance with established support networks. Resale and long-term maintenance planning emphasize freighter systems integrity and engine program participation given the airframe’s continuous commercial cargo role.
