N630UP

The airframe bearing tail number N630UP is a Boeing 747-8F built in 2021 with manufacturer serial number 65777. It is owned by UNITED PARCEL SERVICE CO, a corporation based in Louisville, KY, US, and is registered in the US registry. The aircraft's public records indicate standard operator alignment with its corporate owner and home base in Louisville; registration actions have been recorded on the United States registry. Valuation and specific condition reports are not published.

This specific Boeing 747-8F is configured as a freighter with a main-deck pallet system and lower-hold container capacity, reflecting its commercial cargo role under United Parcel Service Co. The listed cabin accommodations are limited to crew and technical seating, with 8 seats recorded for operational personnel rather than revenue passengers. Avionics are an operator-specific installation of a Rockwell Collins suite, indicative of airline-standard communications, navigation and flight management systems tailored to UPS operational requirements. Typical mission profiles for this airframe center on long-haul heavy cargo routes within the airline’s global network, exploiting its transoceanic range and high-capacity palletized freight capability. Maintenance considerations follow the 747-8F fleet program and operator-specific schedules and support arrangements.

The Boeing 747-8F occupies a high-capacity, long-range freighter niche, offering large main-deck pallet volume and significant payload capability relative to twin-engine widebodies. With a range of 4,390 nm and a cruise speed of 490 kts, it competes in the heavy freighter market against types such as the Airbus A330/A350 freighter conversions and older 747-400Fs, though its four-engine architecture and large volume remain favorable for specific outsized and high-density cargo missions. Buyer and charter demand for the 747-8F tends toward network operators and integrators; resale and maintenance considerations reflect the specialized freighter configuration, operator-specific avionics installations, and the GEnx-2B67 engine support environment.
