N855GT

This airframe, registered as N855GT, is a Boeing-built freighter delivered in 2013 bearing manufacturer serial number 37567. It is a Boeing 747-8F (factory designation 747-87UF/SCD) operated in the U.S. registry (US) and owned by ATLAS AIR INC, headquartered in Purchase, NY, US. The airframe serves in dedicated cargo operations under Atlas Air's corporate registry; no public record of other owners or major registry transfers is reported in the supplied data. Condition highlights for this specific frame reflect a modern 747-8 freighter fitted from production with the 747-8 flight-deck avionics standard for the family and a main-deck pallet freighter conversion at build.

The cabin configuration on N855GT is a freighter main-deck pallet system with a nose cargo door and powered roller floor, providing a straight palletized freight flow; accommodations are limited to crew and relief seating only. The flight deck is equipped with the modern 747-8 family avionics and airframe-level updated flight-deck systems consistent with new-production 747-8 aircraft, supporting contemporary navigation, communication and flight-management capabilities. Operated by ATLAS AIR INC from its Purchase, New York corporate base, typical missions are long-range heavy cargo charters and scheduled ACMI (aircraft, crew, maintenance, insurance) operations within a global freight network, exploiting the type’s intercontinental range and high payload throughput. Maintenance considerations center on GEnx engine support and widebody freighter structural and pallet-system upkeep specific to the 747-8F freighter configuration.

The Boeing 747-8F family occupies a high-capacity, long-range niche in the heavy freighter market, offering greater payload and updated avionics compared with earlier 747 variants. Competing types include large widebody freighters such as the Airbus A330-200F in medium payload sectors and the Boeing 777F in transoceanic payload-efficiency missions, though the 747-8F remains distinctive for nose-door main-deck pallet access. Buyer and charter demand focuses on operators needing volumetric capacity and palletized main-deck systems; maintenance and resale considerations for this 2013-built frame emphasize supportability of the GEnx engine line, airframe-specific freighter fittings, and market appetite for four-engine heavy freighters.
