N126UP

Overview

This airframe, registered as N126UP, is an Airbus Industrie-built freighter of the type Airbus A300F4-622R completed in 2000 with manufacturer serial number 810. The aircraft is owned by C C & E I LLC, a corporation based in Louisville, KY, US, and carries a US registration. The airframe is recorded as a main-deck freighter conversion and has been operated from the owner's Louisville base; the current registration and corporate ownership are notable for concentrating the asset within a single US-based cargo operator. Condition and market valuation details are not published publicly for this specific airframe.

Operations & Cabin

This specific A300 is outfitted in a main-deck freighter configuration accommodating pallet/ULD cargo loads and contains no passenger cabin, reflecting a pure cargo mission fit. Detailed avionics fit and cabin systems for this airframe are not published, but its configuration supports standard cargo handling operations including large main-deck palletized loads. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft type when operated from a Louisville base include medium- to long-range freight runs within continental North America and to transoceanic hubs within its 4,070 nm range capability, flown at an economic cruise of approximately 450 kts. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with PW4000-series engine support and A300 structural and systems programs; specific maintenance status for N126UP is not disclosed.

Model & Market Context

The Airbus A300F4-622R occupies a niche as a widebody freighter offering robust main-deck payload capability paired with moderate range, competing historically with early-generation Boeing medium widebodies in the freight market. With twin Pratt & Whitney PW4158 engines producing 58,000 lbf each, the airframe balances thrust and efficiency for palletized cargo operations. Buyer and charter demand tends to focus on operators requiring main-deck bulk capacity rather than passenger conversions, while resale and maintenance considerations emphasize engine program enrollment and the availability of freighter-modification and parts support for airframes from the 2000 production era.
