Boeing (Chicago) and UPS (United Parcel Service) (Atlanta and Louisville) celebrated the delivery today (May 22) of the cargo operator’s 50th 767-300 Freighter (767-34AF ER N352UP, msn 37875). The airplane joins the world’s largest 767Freighter fleet.
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 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.
