N469UP

This airframe, registered as N469UP, is a Boeing 757-24APF built in 1997 with manufacturer's serial number 25485. It is owned by United Parcel Service Co, a corporation based in Louisville, KY, US, and operates in a cargo role under UPS registry. Notable registry actions include its conversion to a main-deck freighter configuration and designation for freight operations; its condition reflects typical freighter adaptation for sustained cargo service and point-to-point logistics operations. Valuation details are not published.

The airframe features a main-deck freighter conversion (PF) with an installed cargo handling system and a flight deck configured with two crew seats, optimized for single-pilot-plus-relief or two-crew cargo operations. Avionics fit and supplemental equipment specifics are not published; operational deployment therefore centers on scheduled cargo missions consistent with the aircraft’s range and payload-focused conversion. Based at UPS’s Louisville operational hub, the aircraft typically serves medium- to long-range freight routes within the carrier’s network, benefitting from the freighter conversion for efficient pallet and container handling. Maintenance considerations for this particular airframe emphasize freighter-specific systems such as the main-deck handling installation and airframe hours/cycles accumulated since its 1997 build.

The Boeing 757-24APF airframe sits within the 757 family niche as a narrow-body, medium-range freighter conversion valued for runway performance and payload capability relative to older narrow-body freighters. Competing types in the same market segment are other converted narrow-body freighters offering similar range and payload economics. Demand among cargo operators remains centered on robust airframe availability, conversion status, and engine support; for this airframe, the twin Rolls-Royce RB211-535E4 engines and UPS ownership imply steady maintenance and parts support but also require specialized RB211 line maintenance planning. Resale considerations reflect its freighter conversion, serial age, and operator history.
