N740AX

This airframe, registered as N740AX, is a Boeing-built freighter originally delivered in 1982 with manufacturer serial number 22213. The airframe is a Boeing 767-232 (BDSF) that entered the freighter market after conversion and is owned by ABX Air, a United States–based corporation operating cargo services. The aircraft has a U.S. registration and has been configured and maintained for main‑deck palletized cargo operations, reflecting its status and condition as a dedicated freighter in ABX Air’s fleet.

The cabin of this specific airframe was converted to freighter (BDSF) and therefore carries palletized cargo on the main deck with no passenger seating; floor reinforcements, cargo handling systems and large forward and aft cargo doors are consistent with this conversion. Avionics fit is typical of converted 767-200 series freighters, supporting long‑range instrument flight and cargo operations; specific avionics suite details are not published in the provided data. Operated by ABX Air from its U.S. bases, the aircraft is used on medium‑ to long‑range cargo missions consistent with its 6,620 nm range and cruise speed of 470 kts, frequently serving continental and transcontinental routes where palletized freight is required. Maintenance considerations for this airframe focus on freighter‑conversion structural inspections, aging‑aircraft programs due to its 1982 manufacture, and CF6 engine supportability.

The Boeing 767-232 (BDSF) occupies a niche for operators needing a medium‑widebody freighter capable of long range and significant payload volume without the complexity of larger four‑engine types. Competing models in the same mission space include older Airbus A300/A310 freighters and converted 767 variants; demand is driven by integrators and cargo carriers seeking efficient twin‑engine transcontinental and transoceanic capability. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on the airframe’s age (serial 22213, year 1982), the ongoing availability of CF6-80A support, and the market preference for converted aircraft with proven cargo conversion pedigrees.
