Boeing freighter orders boom…
By SwizStick • Mar 27th, 2007 • Category: Air Cargo, Airlines…since the demise of the A380 freighter program:
UPS may be standing pat for the time being on its orders for A380 freighters from Airbus but the parcel carrier is hardly standing pat on buying from Boeing. UPS last month stepped up its aircraft purchasing by placing orders for 27 widebody 767-300 extended-range freighters from Boeing, the first large aircraft order from the world’s second-largest cargo airline has placed since problems at Airbus threw the A380 production line into disarray.
Boeing has been eating up freighter orders since there, including buys from FedEx Express after that carrier and others canceled their orders for A380 freighters amid reports in 2006 of production delays at Airbus.
