Who flies the Boeing 747-400F
Two questions in one table. Airframes is what each carrier reported owning in its US DOT fleet filing; seats flown is how much of the type it actually operated. They can rank differently, and the gap is the interesting part.
| Operator | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kalitta AirKAQ | 14 | — | — | 10.6 yr |
| UPS Airlines5X | 7 | — | — | 18.4 yr |
| National AirlinesN8 | 3 | — | — | 16.0 yr |
| Sky Lease CargoWI | 2 | — | — | 12.1 yr |
| Atlas Air5Y | 1 | — | — | 15.5 yr |
Airframes are the latest Form 41 filing; seats flown and share are US DOT T-100 for the type's most-flown operators — a dash means a carrier isn't among them (a freighter operator, or one that flies fewer).
