THE United Parcel Service (UPS) is continuing its expansion, ordering eight more B767 freighters from Boeing that are due for delivery in 2025, reports London's Air Cargo News.
The order increases UPS's B767F fleet to 108 aircraft and builds on the company's order for nineteen 767Fs in December 2021.
An additional 767-300 Boeing Converted Freighter (BCF) will enter service in late 2023.
'The additional 767s will help us continue to deliver what matters to ups customers around the world. This is a very versatile aircraft that we operate across every region of the globe,' said UPS vice president Nando Cesarone.
'With these aircraft, our fleet will continue to be among the most modern in our industry, meeting our customers' needs while improving our efficiency, sustainability, and reliability,' he said.
Said Boeing senior vice president Ihssane Mounir: 'This repeat order from UPS is a testament to the outstanding cargo capabilities of the 767 Freighter and further demonstrates Boeing's market leadership in the freighter segment.
'UPS will operate more than on hundred 767 Freighters with this order and will build its fleet of Boeing and Boeing-heritage airplanes to more than 260 airplanes. We are honored to play an important role in UPS's efforts to operate a more sustainable, more efficient fleet,' he said .
Based on the 767-300ER (Extended Range) passenger jet, the 767 freighter carries 52.4 tonnes of revenue cargo with an intercontinental range.
