FedEx boosts Boeing with order for six 767Fs as e-commerce demand tightens

22/06/2016

It’s a scramble to get hold of 767Fs, right now. FedEx has ordered six from Boeing, which is planning to speed up production next month to 2.5 a month to cope with demand. Atlas is also sourcing 767s for its Amazon deal, but is looking from existing feedstock for freighter conversions. As the plane of choice in e-commerce circles – along with the 737F – expect demand to continue.
