N633UP

This airframe, registered as N633UP, is a Boeing 747-8F built in 2022 with manufacturer serial number 65774. It is owned by UNITED PARCEL SERVICE CO (a corporation headquartered in Louisville, KY, US) and is registered in the US. The aircraft entered service with its corporate operator following manufacture in 2022 and has been operated from the owner’s primary hub in Louisville; no other ownership or registry transfers are recorded in the supplied data. Condition and valuation specifics beyond manufacture year and operator-held status are not published in the provided dataset.

The main-deck cabin of this Boeing 747-8F is configured for palletized cargo operations, capable of accommodating up to approximately 46 pallets sized 96×125 in plus two LD1 containers, and features a powered roller-floor to expedite loading and restraint of large freight. The flight deck is equipped with the Rockwell Collins avionics suite consistent with the standard 747-8 flight deck fit for the type. Typical missions for this airframe are long-range express cargo routes consistent with its operator’s network, operating from its Louisville base on high-frequency scheduled and ad-hoc freight services. With a minimal passenger capability of 8 seats, the configuration emphasizes cargo throughput and quick turnaround, and maintenance considerations focus on freighter-specific systems such as the powered roller-floor and large-payload structural inspections.

The Boeing 747-8F occupies a niche as a large, long-range heavy freighter within the fixed-wing multi-engine cargo market, offering significant main-deck pallet capacity and intercontinental range. In-service examples like N633UP compete primarily with other large freighters for major integrator and cargo-carrier missions, where payload per flight and door/pallet handling efficiency are critical. Prospective buyers and lessors evaluate these airframes on lifecycle maintenance of high-thrust turbofans (GE GEnx series), airframe hours/cycles, and the operational economics of main-deck pallet systems when assessing resale and residual value.
