Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N708CK, is a Boeing 747-4B5(BCF) built in 1991 with manufacturer's serial number 25275. The aircraft is owned by KALITTA AIR LLC, a corporation based in Ypsilanti, MI, US, and is registered in the US. The ship has served in cargo configuration following a main-deck freighter conversion and is held on the books by its corporate owner; ownership and registry are recorded under KALITTA AIR LLC. Valuation and detailed condition reports for this specific airframe are not published.

The airframe is configured as a main-deck freighter following a Boeing Converted Freighter (BCF) program, with lower-hold pallet positions available for additional cargo load. As a purpose-operated freighter under KALITTA AIR LLC, the typical mission profile emphasizes medium- to long-range cargo routes leveraging the listed range and cruise figures. Avionics fit and interior outfitting specifics are not published for this individual ship; maintenance and operational planning therefore center on the BCF conversion layout and the four-engine PW4056 powerplant suite. Based from the owner’s listed location in Ypsilanti, MI, US, operator base and dispatch planning are aligned with corporate cargo operations.

This airframe belongs to the 747-400 derivative family identified by the -4B5(BCF) conversion designation, combining the platform’s long-range and high-capacity capability as reflected in its 4,455 nm range and 506 kts cruise speed. The four Pratt & Whitney PW4056 engines, each rated at 56,750 lbf, define the thrust and performance envelope for this aircraft. At a build year of 1991, age-related maintenance, life-limited component tracking and conversion-specific checks are primary considerations for operators and potential buyers. Registered and operated under corporate ownership, the airframe’s market positioning is as a converted main-deck freighter suited to sustained cargo operations.
