It is a member of the 747-8F production run, listed as a Boeing 747-87UF (747-8F), and is operated by the U.S.-based cargo specialist Atlas Air, Inc. of Purchase, NY, US.

This airframe is configured as a freighter with a palletised main deck arrangement, typically accommodating 34 main-deck pallets / LD containers as configured for unit load operations. Avionics fit reflects operator choices and is reported as Rockwell Collins equipment, though the specific fit can vary by individual aircraft within the operator fleet. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft emphasize long-range, high-capacity cargo operations on scheduled and ad hoc charter services from Atlas Air’s operational base in Purchase, New York, and other hubs. Maintenance considerations follow large freighter practice for quad-engine widebodies, including attention to the GE GEnx powerplants and pallet-loading systems specific to the 747-8F freighter cabin arrangement.

The Boeing 747-87UF (747-8F) sits in the market as a large, long-range freighter offering high main-deck pallet capacity and intercontinental range, fulfilling niche demand for outsized and high-volume cargo movements. Competing models occupy adjacent roles in the heavy freighter sector; operators and lessors value the 747-8F for its payload-to-range balance and main-deck palletized flexibility. Market and resale considerations for this airframe factor in the four GE GEnx engines, the freighter-specific cabin outfitting, and operator-specific avionics fits, all of which influence maintenance regimes and remarketing prospects.
