FedEx orders four freighters

12/21/2012 10:21:42 AM

Boeing and FedEx Express have announced an order for four 767 Freighters. The order is part of FedEx’s initiative to modernize its fleet.   “These additional 767 orders will help accelerate our fleet modernization program as we replace our aging MD-10 freighter fleet,” said James Parker, FedEx Express executive vice president, air operations. “These new 767s will provide significantly improved reliability and are substantially more fuel-efficient than the aircraft they will replace.”   The freighters also increase efficiency by sharing spare parts, tooling and flight simulators with the Boeing 757s that are part of the FedEx air fleet.   The 767 Freighter is based on the popular 767-300ER (extended range) passenger airplane. Able to carry approximately 58 tons of revenue cargo with intercontinental range, Boeing targets the 767-300 Freighter for developing new long-haul, regional or feeder markets.   Aircargo World
