FedEx Express has continued to modernise its European air services by introducing a new Boeing 767 Freighter on Madrid-Paris flights.

The 767 offers 41 tonnes of cargo capacity, 16% more than its predecessor, is also 9% more fuel efficient.

The aircraft operates five times a week and connects FedEx hubs in Madrid and Paris Charles de Gaulle, one of its major hubs alongside Cologne and Liege.

Paloma Romero-Salazar, vice president operations Spain and Portugal for FedEx Express says: “We’re very excited about the introduction of the new Boeing 767F on the Madrid-Paris route.  Modernising our fleet with cleaner, quieter, and more efficient aircraft is a top priority for FedEx Express and this new freighter represents another exciting milestone in this process. The increased capacity of the Boeing 767F will also offer Spanish customers who export, greater opportunity to ship their goods and trade globally.”
