(Boursier.com) – UPS orders 19,767 Freighters from Boeing. A contract which allows the American giant to confirm its record year in terms of the sale of cargo planes with 80 firm orders for new widebody aircraft and more than 80 orders for ‘Boeing Converted Freighters’. Unfortunately for Boeing, the situation is nowhere near as promising in the commercial aircraft segment.
“The Boeing 767 is the most versatile aircraft we operate,” said UPS President of US Operations Nando Cesarone. “Our plan to purchase 19 aircraft and deliver them between 2023 and 2025 aligns with the strategy and the capital expenditure forecasts shared during our investor and analyst day in June 2021. It also supports our sustainable development efforts. by making our fleet more efficient and improving reliability “.
In 2021, the demand for air freight exploded with the expansion of the e-commerce and express freight markets.
