The cargo air carrier FedEx has announced that it will reduce the number of B-767/300F aircraft with a purchase option from 50 to 43. This is what emerges from the company's latest quarterly statistical report. This redefinition concerns an order signed in 2023. It is a move with which the company aims to balance future plane orders with the aim of optimizing its route network.

In detail, the cargo company plans to withdraw three B-767/300Fs out of the 15 expected to be delivered by the end of May 2024; to these are added another 10 which will be canceled by 31 May 2025; finally two other aircraft will be canceled by May 31, 2026.

Ultimately, the 43 new aircraft will increase the number of B-767 planes in the FedEx fleet to 152 units (with another 21 on order). Despite this cut on the order, the cargo air carrier thus confirms itself as the largest B-767/300F operator. All aircraft will be delivered to the cargo company by the end of May 2026.
