FedEx orders 19 more jets from Boeing

7/3/2012 10:34:57 AM

FedEx said it will purchase 19 additional 767-300 planes from Boeing. The B767s will be delivered from fiscal 2015 to 2019 and replace current MD-10s and A310-200s. As part of the deal, FedEx will convert four orders for  B777s to B767s. The B767s will provide similar capacity to the MD-10s, with a 30 percent increase in fuel efficiency and a reduction in unit operating costs of more than 20 percent. They will also increase efficiency by sharing spare parts, tooling and flight simulators with B757s in the FedEx fleet. In December, FedEx announced plans to buy 27 new B767s for delivery between fiscal 2014 and 2018. It also plans to  purchase another 24 B777s to add to the 19 long-range B777 planes it operates today.   American Shipper
