N621UP

This airframe, registered as N621UP, is a Boeing 747-8F built in 2020 with manufacturer serial number 65785. It is owned and operated by UNITED PARCEL SERVICE CO, a corporation based in Louisville, KY, US, and is registered in the US civil registry. The airframe entered service with its current owner upon completion in 2020 and has been maintained within the operator’s freighter fleet since delivery; delivered new to UNITED PARCEL SERVICE CO and operated from its Louisville hub. No further public registry actions or ownership transfers are recorded for this specific serial in the supplied data.

The airframe is configured as a freighter with a main-deck palletized cargo arrangement, featuring a nose cargo door and lower-hold containers; there is no passenger cabin. Onboard accommodations for flight crew and support are minimal, reflected in a declared seating capacity of 8, typical for long-range cargo operations. The flight deck is equipped with Rockwell Collins / Boeing common systems, with operator-specific fit varying by due-fit choices and operational requirements. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft center on scheduled long-haul cargo services from the operator’s Louisville base, emphasizing volumetric palletized loads and intercontinental ranges up to 4,390 nm. Routine maintenance considerations align with heavy freighter program requirements for the 747-8F family and the high-thrust GEnx-2B67/P engines.

The Boeing 747-8F occupies a niche as a large, high-capacity freighter optimized for nose-loading, palletized main-deck operations and long-range missions at cruise speeds near 490 kts and ceilings up to 43,000 ft. It competes in the heavy freighter segment with other large airframes offering similar payload-range trade-offs; buyer demand tends toward major integrators and cargo operators able to exploit its volumetric capacity. Resale and maintenance considerations for this model generally reflect its role as a freighter workhorse, with attention to engine shop visits for the GEnx-2B67/P and structural checks associated with high-utilization cargo operations.
