FedEx Extends Life of 30-Year-Old MD-11 Freighter Fleet for Another Decade
FedEx has decided to continue operating its aging fleet of McDonnell Douglas MD-11 freighters, which have an average age of 30 years. The logistics giant plans to keep these aircraft in service for at least another decade. To support this strategy, the company is investing in modernizing the MD-11 cockpits with new displays and systems. This decision contrasts with the retirement of its older Airbus A300-600 and MD-10 fleets. The move highlights the continued reliability and economic viability of the MD-11 as a cargo workhorse for the company.
