FedEx Express launches new aircraft as part of the company’s fleet modernization strategy using more efficient, lower CO2 and reduced noise emission planes

　　Cernusco Sul Naviglio, 22 November 2019 — FedEx Express (FedEx), a subsidiary of FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX), and the world’s largest express transportation company, is continuing to modernize its European air fleet to improve environmental performance and operational efficiency, with the introduction of a new Boeing 767F cargo jet into its European network.

　　The new freighter offers superior environmental performance compared to the aircraft it replaces, including noise reduction benefits. It also provides additional capacity on the existing Milano Malpensa-Paris route, offering Italian businesses that export to the rest of Europe greater opportunity to ship their goods.

　　The new Boeing 767F can carry up to 91,000 pounds of cargo, which represents an increase in capacity of approximately 16% compared to the aircraft it replaces. It is also 9% percent more fuel-efficient than its predecessor.

　　The newly introduced aircraft operates six times a week and connects FedEx hubs in Milano Malpensa and Paris-Charles de Gaulle – one of the major FedEx hubs in Europe alongside Cologne and Liège.

　　Preparations for the arrival of the new Boeing 767F started a number of months ago. Thousands of hours of comprehensive training have been undertaken by team members, including air operations, ramp agents and technicians.
