Overview

This airframe, registered as N154UP, is an Airbus-built freighter completed in 2003 with manufacturer's serial number 840. The airframe is an Airbus A300F4-622R configured as a dedicated cargo freighter and is owned by United Parcel Service Co (a corporation based in Louisville, KY, US), which also operates it from its Louisville hub. The aircraft carries a US registration and has been operated in UPS’s cargo network; no public record of recent major registry actions or transfers was provided. Condition and valuation details are not published in the supplied data.

Operations & Cabin

The airframe is fitted as a freighter (cargo) with a two-crew flightdeck and no passenger accommodations beyond the flight crew seats, reflecting its role in integrator and express cargo operations. Typical mission profiles for this type, reflected by the provided range and cruise speed, include medium- to long-stage cargo sectors within continental and transcontinental networks operated from the owner’s Louisville base. Avionics and specific fit details were not published in the data set; maintenance considerations follow heavy freighter usage patterns common to single-aisle, twin-engine cargo conversions. Unique amenities are not applicable to cargo configuration, and no exceptional maintenance history or modifications were supplied.

Model & Market Context

The Airbus A300F4-622R occupies a niche as a wide single-aisle freighter with moderate payload-range capability, suitable for integrator networks and high-utilization cargo operators. With twin Pratt & Whitney PW4158 engines delivering 58,000 lbf of thrust each, the type balances payload capability against operating cost in routes up to its published 4,050 nm range. Competing equipment in similar roles includes older wide-body and converted narrow-body freighters; buyer interest tends to be from cargo integrators and freight operators. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect standard heavy freighter economics and the operational practices of its owner, United Parcel Service Co.
