UPS has signed an order for 19 Boeing 767 Freighters at a time of robust air cargo demand.
“The Boeing 767 is the most versatile aircraft we operate,” said UPS US Operations President, Nando Cesarone. “Our plan to purchase 19 aircraft and take delivery between 2023 and 2025 aligns with the strategy and capital expenditure forecast shared during our June 2021 investor and analyst day. It also supports our sustainability efforts by making our fleet more efficient and improving reliability,” he said.
The deal adds to a record-breaking year for Boeing freighter sales, including 80 firm orders for new wide-body freighters and more than 80 orders for Boeing Converted Freighters. In 2021 air cargo demand has surged due to an expansion of e-commerce and express cargo markets.
