UPS to purchase 19 Boeing 767 Freighters

Package delivery giant United Parcel Service (UPS) has placed an order for 19 of Boeing’s 767 freighters as a surge in e-commerce has raised demand for air cargo.

The deal adds to a “record-breaking year” for Boeing freighter sales where the freighter market has been a rare bright spot for plane makers after facing pandemic lows, as a boom in online shopping, supply chain disruptions and a drop in passenger plane flights has stoked demand.
