The Boeing 757 Freighter runs Puerto Rico’s high-volume narrow-body cargo through San Juan (SJU), carrying dense main-deck loads up to 2,935 nautical miles. It fits SJU to the US mainland, Central America, or northern South America on tight schedules. A high-payload, long-legged freighter.
Boeing built the 757 from 1987; factory and converted freighters carry a large main-deck load on a narrow-body footprint. It cruises near Mach 0.80 at up to 42,000 feet with strong hot-and-high performance.

Why the Boeing 757 Freighter Fits Puerto Rico
From Puerto Rico the 757F fits dense, time-sensitive freight: San Juan to Miami, the Gulf, or South American hubs with a full main deck. It carries more than the 737 freighter over longer legs.
When payload and range both climb past a 737-400F, the 757 keeps the SJU cargo run on a single narrow-body.
