FedEx Express has completed the donation of two ATR 42 aircraft to the Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport Fire Rescue Department in Spain. The aircraft, registered as EI-FXE and EI-FXA, are already in place at the airport where the firefighters will carry out routine training practice using the two retired airframes donated.

　　The donation of the two ATR 42 aircraft coincides with the addition of new ATR 72-600F aircraft to the FedEx Express fleet. In November 2017, FedEx Express formalized the purchase of 30 new aircraft which introduce improved performance and efficiency to the FedEx Express fleet.

　　The initiative of donating aircraft at their end of their life supports the Reduce, Replace, Revolutionize approach FedEx applies to sustainability. These two aircraft will go on to serve as valuable educational and training resources and mark the 97th and 98th aircraft donated by FedEx under this program since 2000.
