Boeing BA and FedEx Express, a
wholly owned subsidiary of FedEx Corp., today 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 R. 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. They will be an excellent
addition to the FedEx fleet."
The addition of the 767 Freighters will enable FedEx to replace its less
efficient medium widebody cargo airplanes with freighters that provide fuel,
maintenance and other cost savings. 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.
