FedEx Corp. agreed to buy 50 Boeing Co. 767 freighters with a list value of about $10 billion, the model’s largest-ever order, as it upgrades the fleet at the FedEx Express unit.
The order gives new life to the 767, which was developed in the 1980s and pioneered long-range flights for twin-engine jets. FedEx Express, the world’s biggest cargo airline, is the last remaining customer as passenger carriers shift to newer aircraft such as Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner and Airbus Group SE’s A330.
