FedEx Express orders four 767 Freighters to replace aging MD-10s
FEDEX Express has announced an order of four 767 Freighters from Boeing as part of its initiative to modernise its fleet.
"These additional 767 orders will accelerate fleet modernisation as we replace aging MD-10 freighters," said FedEx Express vice president James Parker. "These new 767s will provide improved reliability and are more fuel-efficient than the aircraft they replace."
The freighters also increase efficiency by sharing spare parts, tooling and flight simulators with the Boeing 757s that are part of the FedEx fleet.
The 767 Freighter is based on the 767-300ER (extended range) passenger plane. With a 58-ton payload, and an intercontinental range, Boeing plans to sell the 767-300 Freighter in the developing new long-haul, regional and feeder markets.
