FedEx has said that it would acquire another six Boeing 777 Freighter aircraft, lifting its total order for the type to 38, Dow Jones reported.
The package shipper said in a regulatory filing that it would acquire another four of the long-range cargo planes from Boeing, and has a letter of intent to take two more from another party.
FedEx has already taken six 777Fs, whose range cuts trip times on flights between Asia and the US, with six more arriving by the end of May next year. It has options to buy another 15 planes.
