N583UP

This airframe, registered as N583UP, is a Boeing 747-4R7F (747-400F) built in 1993 with manufacturer serial number 25867. The aircraft is owned by UNITED PARCEL SERVICE CO, a corporate operator based in Louisville, KY, US, and is operated in a main-deck freighter configuration for cargo missions. The type is registered in the United States and is configured with a side cargo door consistent with 747-400F freighter layouts. No public record of unusual registry actions or extraordinary valuation adjustments is published for this specific airframe beyond standard operator asset management.

The cabin of N583UP follows the 747-400F freighter layout with the main deck dedicated to cargo and a side cargo door for large-pallet and container operations. Typical missions exploit the platform’s long-range capability, moving express and scheduled freight across continental and transoceanic sectors up to its 7,260 nm range while cruising near 504 kts. Based at the owner’s Louisville, Kentucky operations center, the airframe’s maintenance profile aligns with heavy freighter practices, including scheduled shop visits for landing gear, structure, and four-engine support driven by the GE CF6-80C2B1F powerplants. The aircraft’s certificate and registration reflect standard operator oversight and routine maintenance cycles for revenue cargo service.

The Boeing 747-4R7F (747-400F) occupies the heavy, long-range freighter niche, prized for large main-deck capacity and intercontinental range. In its market segment it competes functionally with older MD-11Fs and modern twin-engine freighters such as the Boeing 777F and Airbus A330-200F, though the 747-400F’s four-engine architecture and volumetric capacity remain distinguishing traits. Buyer demand leans toward operators needing high-volume lift rather than minimal fuel burn; resale and maintenance considerations for a 1993-built airframe include aging-structure inspections, lifecycle component replacement, and ongoing cost of four-engine support. These factors influence asset value and operational deployment choices for aircraft like N583UP.
