N854GT

This airframe, registered as N854GT, is a Boeing 747-87UF (747-8F) built in 2013 with manufacturer serial number 37566. The aircraft was manufactured by Boeing and is owned by ATLAS AIR INC (a corporation based in Purchase, NY, US), which operates it from its US registry. The freighter has the typical operator/home base linkage to its corporate owner in Purchase, New York, and its record shows the standard commercial freight registry actions for US-registered cargo aircraft. Condition and valuation details are not published for this specific airframe beyond its configuration and equipment standard to the type.

The airframe is configured as a freighter with a main-deck pallet layout; the cabin is a freighter main-deck pallet configuration with 34 main-deck pallet positions typical for the 747-8F. Avionics are the Rockwell Collins standard 747-8 suite, supporting modern navigation, communication and flight management tasks for long-range cargo operations. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft, in line with operator practice, include transcontinental and intercontinental cargo routes within the thrust and range capabilities listed; operations are centered on the operator’s US base. Maintenance considerations follow those for large, quad-engine freighters, including airframe-specific servicing for the GEnx-2B67B engines and periodic avionics checks under the Rockwell Collins suite.

The Boeing 747-8F family occupies a high-capacity, long-range freighter niche with significant main-deck pallet capability, exemplified by this 747-8F airframe. Competing models in similar market segments include large twin-aisle freighters offering lower trip costs per ton but different payload/volume trade-offs. Buyer and charter demand for the 747-8F centers on operators needing exceptional main-deck volume and intercontinental range. Maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe reflect its 2013 manufacture date, GEnx engine type, and standard avionics fit, which influence lifecycle costs and marketability within the heavy freighter market.
