Boeing has announced a multi-year order from package delivery behemoth United Parcel Service (UPS) to meet its increased global demand for air cargo reflecting a surge in online sales as part of the broader economic recovery.
For an undisclosed amount, the order is for 19 Boeing 767 Freighters which, according to UPS U.S. Operations President Nando Cesarone, is one of the “most versatile aircraft we operate.” UPS expects a robust demand for air cargo while the deal has capped a record-breaking year for Boeing freighter sales. The airplane manufacturer has registered 80 firm orders for large production all-cargo jets along with over 80 other orders for converted freighters.
