The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said the McDonnell Douglas MD-11 departing for Hawaii crashed at around 5:15pm local time (2215 GMT).
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear told a press briefing that he expected the number of dead and injured was going to rise.
"First responders are onsite and working hard to extinguish the fire and continue the investigation," he posted in a Tuesday night update on X.
UPS said in a statement that three crew members were on board the aircraft, adding that "we have not confirmed any injuries/casualties."
Beshear said the status of the three crew members was unknown and said that he was "very concerned" for them.
