RESEARCH NOTES
About N172UP
Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.
Overview
This airframe, registered as N172UP, is an Airbus-built freighter completed in 2006 with manufacturer serial number 867. It is a production example of the Airbus A300F4-622R line and is owned by United Parcel Service Co, a corporation based in Louisville, KY, US. The aircraft bears a United States registration (US) and is maintained and operated in the context of UPS’s cargo network; ownership and operational control have been continuously held by the corporate owner listed. Condition and valuation specifics are not published in the supplied data.
Operations & Cabin
The airframe is outfitted as a main-deck freighter with a ULD pallet handling system and retains two flight crew seats, reflecting its dedicated cargo configuration rather than a passenger layout. Its outfitting supports unit load device (ULD) palletized operations common to integrator and express carriers, with mission profiles focused on medium-to-long-range freight sectors within a 4,050 nm capability and cruise speeds around 450 kts. The operator base recorded in the ownership data is Louisville, KY, US, aligning the aircraft with hub-and-spoke sorting and distribution operations typical of its owner. Maintenance considerations specific to this aircraft follow standard freighter practices for the model and powerplant but are not further detailed in the provided data.
Model & Market Context
The Airbus A300F4-622R airframe occupied a niche as a widebody freighter offering substantial main-deck pallet capacity combined with transcontinental range and a high-service ceiling, here demonstrated by 40,000 ft capabilities. Powered by twin PW4158 turbofans producing 58,000 lbf each, this variant competes in the older widebody freighter market against converted passenger widebodies and purpose-built freighters from other manufacturers. Buyer and operator demand historically emphasizes payload-to-range efficiency and robustness for high-utilization integrator schedules; resale and maintenance considerations center on structural life, main-deck cargo system condition, and the availability of overhaul support for the listed engines.
