N491AZ

This airframe, registered as N491AZ, is a Boeing-built freighter completed in 1998 with manufacturer's serial number 29429. It is a Boeing 767-323ER converted to a main-deck palletized freighter (BDSF) and is operated by Air Transport International (operator for Amazon Prime Air) out of the United States registration US. The aircraft's service history centers on freight operations under corporate ownership; no public records of prior civil passenger service or notable registry incidents are provided in the supplied data. Valuation and detailed condition reports are not published.

The cabin for this specific airframe is configured as a main-deck palletized freighter (BDSF) with lower-hold container capability and contains no passenger seating, reflecting a mission set focused exclusively on cargo. Typical operations for this configuration emphasize medium- to long-haul cargo routes compatible with the aircraft's transoceanic range of 6,105 nm and cruise speed of 460 kts, frequently supporting time-sensitive express freight flows under its operator's Amazon Prime Air contract. Avionics fit and specific onboard systems are not detailed in the available data; standard Boeing 767-300ER-type flightdeck equipment is typical for the type but not confirmed for this serial. Maintenance considerations for this airframe concentrate on freighter-specific structural conversions, pallet and cargo-handling system upkeep, and lower-hold container restraint systems rather than passenger cabin maintenance.

The Boeing 767-323ER (BDSF) occupies a niche for twin-aisle, medium- to long-range freighter operations where payload flexibility and lower operating cost per ton-mile are prioritized. Competing models in similar missions include narrow- and widebody freighter conversions derived from the 757 and A330 families, though the 767 platform remains popular for its balance of payload, range, and airport compatibility. Buyer and charter demand for converted 767 freighters typically reflects global e-commerce and integrator network needs; maintenance and resale considerations emphasize the history of freighter conversion, remaining structural life, and records associated with the conversion program.
