The last time it was cancelled was 9/11
 I’ve been with the company/Airline in Louisville for 17.5 years, and it’s always been on. Not even the 2009 Ice storm with 10 inches of ice/snow shut it down. Honestly it should have been cancelled last Wednesday night. It took us until Friday night to get back to normal. https://www.wdrb.com/in-depth/ups-closes-worldport-monday-night-because-of-winter-storm/article_27701530-6fd5-11eb-b8bd-0b3aa0419c80.html |

SDF is the UPS world hub airfield, used to be Standiford Field in Louisville, KY, and still the same airport code.
No idea about the 4009 bit; maybe a big plane? I have known a large number of UPS folks; for them to outright cancel sorting anything is a big deal, that would involve them not basically printing money out of thin air. They don't cancel unless things are really FUBAR. |

I'm guessing that OP is a pilot/employee of the UPS airline operations side of the business.
UPS worldports are a big deal because they move a lot of overseas priority freight. just about anything you can imagine that will fit inside of a big plane. The weather there is so bad/outlook terrible that they preemptively cancelled operations by the way, 18 posts since 2013. lurker indeed. |

(WDRB) -- UPS is suspending at operations Monday night at its global air hub in Louisville for inclement weather, a first since the hub was established around 2000. The company released a statement: At UPS, we are always safety first in meeting our service commitments. That's why, with 6-10" of snow and ice expected in today in Louisville, we are taking the unusual step of suspending Worldport sort operations and cancelling domestic inbound flights on Monday night, Feb. 15. Sort operations also are cancelled Monday night at the company's regional hub in Dallas due to severe weather conditions in Texas. UPS is formulating alternate operations plan to resume service as soon as safety allows and to get our customers' critical shipments moving as quickly as possible. Customers with questions about their shipments should track them at UPS.com Hundreds of planes go in and out of Worldport, at Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport, each evening. UPS sorts and routes packages to and from planes and trucks at the facility. UPS spokesman Jim Mayer said some international flights will still land in Louisville as scheduled on Monday evening, but no planes will depart. |

Yeah and now the snow apocalypse that we were supposed to have here in the Louisville area, ain't going to happen.
The weathermen swung and missed. Everybody went full retard, raided the grocery stores and canceled everything  Now don't get me started on UPS ground. On Friday they failed to deliver my powder order. Today they failed me again. And more than likely they will fail me tomorrow. |

All those numbers and gibberish are probably the location code for a ups terminal that isn't unloading trailers, sorting packages and then loading onto other trailers due to weather.

They don't cancel unless things are really FUBAR. It's not about the money, they won't pay out refund on delays due to weather anyway. The problems with a logistics system like UPS has is all the packages have to keep moving to keep the system working. When one hub shuts down it causes backups and a chain reaction. That being said, all of Texas and a lot of other places in South central US will be shut down also so they will all not be sending or receiving packages and just hold them until things clear up. |

Not much you can do when the airport shuts down. Now we are getting a lot of snow things are just going to be delayed all over not just louky |
