Boeing receives UPS freighter order
Boeing confirmed Thursday that UPS has ordered 27 767-300 Extended Range freighters. UPS earlier this month said it would purchase the planes for delivery from 2009 to 2012.
Boeing already has 32 767s in its fleet, which it is expanding to keep with worldwide growth in trade.
UPS has also ordered 10 A380s from Airbus, but is reviewing its decision after production of the new super-jumbo plane was delayed by two years.
