UPS 747-400 Freighter

UPS has committed to purchasing a total of 14 747-400 freighters. Eight of them will be new aircraft and four will come from Cargolux; all 12 will have nose-cargo loading doors. The remaining two are former EVA Airlines 747-400 "combi" aircraft that do not have nose-cargo doors and will be converted to full freighter configuration.
