N761CK

This airframe, registered as N761CK, is a Boeing 767-341(ER)(BDSF) built in 1989 with manufacturer serial number 24752. It is owned by KALITTA AIR LLC, a corporation based in Ypsilanti, MI, US, and carries a United States civil registration. The airframe has been converted to a freighter configuration and is appraised at $18,000,000, reflecting its role in the medium-widebody cargo market and the configuration-related value adjustments common to passenger-to-freighter conversions. Maintenance and operational records typically follow U.S. registry oversight under the owner/operator base in Ypsilanti.

The cabin has been converted to a main-deck palletized freighter layout, with the typical 767 passenger-to-freighter (P2F) arrangement accommodating approximately 30 LD2 positions on the main deck in line with similar conversions; the aircraft operates with a cargo handling focus rather than passenger seating. Avionics fit is consistent with late-1980s Boeing 767 platforms and standard freighter modification suites, supporting long-range cargo sectors out of its operator’s U.S. base. Typical missions for this airframe include medium- to long-range freight services within intercontinental and domestic networks, exploiting the extended-range capability of the -341(ER) frame. Routine maintenance considerations reflect the CF6-80C2 family engine type and P2F structural modifications; main-deck cargo systems and reinforced floor structures are central to continued airworthiness oversight.

The Boeing 767-300ER derivative occupies a niche for medium-widebody freighter conversions where range, payload, and operating economics are balanced for transcontinental and near-intercontinental routes. Competing freighter platforms include older A300/A310 conversions and newer converted 777-200Fs in higher-capacity roles, with the 767 often chosen for ramp compatibility and airport accessibility. Buyer demand for converted 767s remains driven by cargo carriers seeking lower acquisition cost and proven reliability; resale and maintenance considerations hinge on structural conversion history, remaining life-limited components, and CF6 engine maintenance status.
