FedEx Corp. is considering whether to buy wide-body freighters from Boeing Co. and Airbus SAS to update the fleet of the world’s largest cargo airline, three people familiar with the matter said.
The order would involve about 50 planes, and discussions center on Boeing’s 767 and Airbus’s A330, said one of the people, who wasn’t authorized to speak publicly. While FedEx’s board may consider an order at a meeting today, a final decision may not come for several months, two people said.
