@AviationNews Air India is reportedly mulling a further large widebody order with both the Boeing 777X and the Airbus A350 in contention.
@BoeingAirplanes Our team has delivered the 100th completed 767-300 Boeing Converted Freighter (BCF)! This milestone aircraft joins SF Airlines—the operator of the world’s largest 767-300BCF fleet—with the performance and reliability needed to support its global cargo network.
@BrandoRepublic United Airlines CEO: “The FAA is by far our biggest challenge. 68% of our delays were because of air traffic control restrictions. Sec. Duffy is committed to fixing it. For the first time in 20 years, I feel like we have the right folks.”
@CargoFacts FedEx is postponing the retirement of its MD-11F fleet by four years and is buying ten more Boeing 777Fs, securing more large-widebody freighter capacity amid a tight market.
