FedEx shuffles vintage fleet, new aircraft on the horizon

In this episode, Cargo Facts Editor Jeff Lee and Associate Editors Andrew Crider and Robert Luke discuss FedEx reactivating vintage trijet airframes ahead of peak season. The once-parked freighters will step in for several 757s, which will take their place in the desert.

The editors then discuss a number of new aircraft — both manned and unmanned — that have passed, or are approaching, major milestones in their development, representing the future of the air cargo market.
