Performance and Efficiency
As part of an ongoing upgrade of the FedEx Express fleet, the new aircraft offers a premium blend of performance and efficiency. In service since February 2009, the Boeing 777 is the largest and longest-range twin-engine freighter. It has a payload capacity of 112 tons (102 metric tons). Its flight range of 4,900 miles (9,070 kilometers), with a full payload, is nearly 900 nautical miles more than the MD-11.
The 777 also represents the next step in FedEx efforts to reduce our carbon footprint. The aircraft supports the company's commitment to the environment in three ways:
- 24 percent better fuel economy per pound of revenue payload than the 747-400BCF, thanks to an advanced wing design, more efficient engines and a lighter structure.
- 18 percent fewer emissions than the MD-11, largely because of the improved fuel efficiency.
- QC2 noise standards, with advanced noise reduction on landings and takeoffs for maximum accessibility to noise-sensitive airports.

FedEx Express to Take Delivery of First Boeing 777 Freighter
MEMPHIS, Tenn., Oct. 5, 2009—FedEx Express, a subsidiary of FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) and the company that invented overnight shipping 38 years ago, has made international express shipping even faster with the unveiling today of its first Boeing 777 Freighter (777F) during ceremonies with The Boeing Company in Everett, Wash. FedEx Express is the first U.S.-based global all-cargo freight airline to take delivery of the 777F, and has placed the largest order for the aircraft model to date.
'The Boeing 777 is an extraordinary testament to our dedication to fleet enhancement, allowing FedEx Express to provide unmatched services to our customers around the world,' said David J. Bronczek, president and chief executive officer, FedEx Express. 'Its payload capacity, range and environmental efficiencies create well-rounded, long-term strategic value for our company in meeting the global shipping demands of customers.'
Introduction of the 777F to the FedEx fleet of more than 650 aircraft expands what is already the world's largest cargo airline. Its international routes will provide service benefits to customers and enhance the efficiency of the FedEx Express global network.
The 777F is the world's largest twin-engine cargo aircraft. Its flight range, the equivalent of about 6,675 land miles, or nearly three times the approximate distance between the east and west coasts of the U.S., is the longest of any two-engine freighter, with a payload capacity of 215,000 pounds (98 metric tons).
This represents an increase in range of more than 2,400 miles and an additional 14,000 pounds of payload over the MD-11 freighter, which until now has been the primary long-haul aircraft in the company's fleet.
The global freighter's range enables FedEx Express to fly between major markets and hubs in Asia, Europe and the U.S. with more freight and in less time than it takes today, allowing later cut-off times for customers in the markets to drop off their shipments. For example, 777F transit times from points in Asia to the U.S. will be from one to three hours faster than those of the MD-11.
In addition to service enhancements the aircraft provides for our customers, the freighter also delivers noteworthy environmental benefits and efficiencies:
Fedex Boeing 777 Fleet
· Uses 18 percent less fuel than an MD-11;
· State-of-the-art engine technology reduces emissions 18 percent;
· Advanced noise-reduction technology meets airport noise standards and makes landings and takeoffs quieter;
· Has lower maintenance and operating costs than other aircraft in its class.

'The 777F is a game-changer,' said Michael L. Ducker, president, International, FedEx Express. 'Its operational efficiencies and environmental benefits alone are impressive, but combine those advantages with the service improvements it delivers and FedEx will be able to take international shipping to another level. Our customers around the world will benefit from more point-to-point routes and the shorter flight times, increasing their competitiveness in the global marketplace.'
