Boeing Lands Huge 767F Order
UPS announced today that they are ordering 27 brand new 767-300ER freighters from Boeing. While the press release doesn’t disclose the dollar amount of the order, Boeing’s official price list pegs the order in the ballpark of between $3.9 and $4.2 billion. With an investment this huge going to Boeing, and rival Fedex already having cancelled their A380F order last year, one wonders if UPS will also soon cancel theirs. If so, that probably marks the death blow to the freighter version of Airbus’ already struggling A380 program.
