Boeing has delivered more than 80 of the mid-sized freighters to FedEx. Boeing continues to see strong market demand for 767 airplanes, which offer outstanding operational efficiency and payload configuration. Cargo operators around the world keep the global 767 Freighter fleet busy, flying the model an average of 10 hours a day.

In 1997, we added the 1st Boeing 777-200ER to our fleet. The -200ER is the world’s biggest twin-jet, with the largest landing gear of all commercial aircraft types. Nowadays, we’ve got 15 of these “triple sevens” flying around the world, so you just might fly in one of these aircraft to Dubai, Quito, Guayaquil or Osaka (destinations may differ per season). The Boeing 777’s twin-jet engines equal 175,000 horsepower. With this, our pilots can make this aircraft accelerate from 0 to 96 km/h in just 6 seconds. That’s why the Boeing 777 engine is listed as the most powerful jet engine in the Guinness Book of Records. Almost all of our Boeing 777-200ER’s are named after world heritage sites: Epidaurus, Chichen-Itza, Ferrara City, Mount Kilimanjaro, Galápagos Islands, Hadrian’s Wall, Nahanni National Park, Pont du Gard, Borobudur, Darjeeling Railway, Iguazú Falls, Litomyšl Castle, Machu Picchu, and Old Rauma. There is one exception, which is the 1st triple seven that flew for KLM, that was named after the founder of KLM: Albert Plesman.
