N618UP

The airframe bearing tail number N618UP is a member of the large freighter fleet built as a Boeing 747-8F and completed in 2019, carrying manufacturer serial number 64264. It is registered in the United States and is owned by C C & E I LLC, an LLC based in Louisville, KY, which indicates a corporate ownership and likely operation from a U.S.-based cargo hub. No public record of prior owner transfers or notable registry actions is provided beyond current ownership. The airframe’s recent-build status and freighter configuration suggest it entered service in modern cargo airline operations and would be assessed for value and condition accordingly.

This specific Boeing 747-8F is outfitted as a main-deck palletized freighter with lower-hold container capability and crew seating for approximately 8, consistent with high-density cargo operations. Typical mission profiles for the airframe would include medium- to long-range cargo routes up to its listed range of 4,390 nm, operated from a U.S. base consistent with the owner's Louisville location. Avionics fit is not published in the supplied data; however, maintenance considerations for this airframe will focus on four GEnx-2B67 turbofans and freighter-specific structural inspections related to palletized main-deck operations. Crew amenities are minimal by design, limited to necessary rest and operational stations for the crew of roughly 8.

The Boeing 747-8F family occupies a niche as one of the largest dedicated freighters, offering high payload and pallet capacity compared with narrowbody and midwidebody freighters. Competing models in the long-range heavy-freighter market include large converted and factory-built types that offer different trade-offs in payload, efficiency, and acquisition cost. Buyer demand tends to favor operators needing maximum main-deck volume; resale and maintenance considerations center on GEnx engine support, structural life on high-cycle cargo use, and remaining economic life given this airframe’s 2019 build date.
