UPS has ordered 14 Boeing 747-8 Freighters with options for an additional 14.
With its iconic nose door, the 747-8 Freighter has 16% more revenue cargo volume than the 747-400F. The airplane also reduces the noise footprint around an airport by 30% compared to its predecessor.
“These aircraft are a strategic investment for increased capacity for UPS customers around the globe,” said Brendan Canavan, president, UPS Airlines. “The 747-8 will allow UPS to upsize our network in both new and existing markets.”
Headquartered in Atlanta, UPS serves more than 220 countries and territories worldwide.
