EVERETT,
Wash., May 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Boeing (NYSE: BA) and UPS celebrated the
delivery today of the cargo operator's 50th 767-300 Freighter. The airplane
joins the world's largest 767 Freighter fleet.
"The
Boeing 767 Freighter is the workhorse of our fleet," said UPS Airlines
President Mitch Nichols. "This versatile widebody is an important element
in UPS's global logistics network, helping us reach over 200 countries and
territories each day."
The 767
Freighter is based on the popular 767-300ER (extended range) passenger
airplane. Able to carry approximately 58 tons (52.7 tonnes) of revenue cargo
with intercontinental range, the 767 Freighter is ideal for developing new
long-haul, regional or feeder markets.
"UPS is
one of the world's premier air-cargo carriers," said John Wojick, Boeing
Commercial Airplanes vice president of North America Sales. "They have
demonstrated the versatility and high reliability of the 767 Freighter, helping
establish it as the preferred airplane for the mid-sized freighter
market."
UPS benefits
from the 767's established schedule reliability, performance and operational
advantages. Schedule reliability -- an industry measure of departure from the
gate within 15 minutes of scheduled time -- is over 98 percent for the 767. UPS
boasts a 767 Freighter fleet reliability of over 99 percent.
In addition
to the 50 767 Freighters, Boeing also has delivered 75 757-200 Package
Freighters and eight 747-400 Freighters to UPS. The Louisville, Kentucky-based
logistics services provider has nine more 767 Freighters on order.
