Boeing 767-300F

Boeing launched the 767-300F in January 1993 on an order from UPS. Based on the -300ER, it adds a large main-deck cargo door, a crew exit, upgraded landing gear and a strengthened wing structure. The main deck takes up to 24 standard pallets and the lower deck 30 LD2 containers, for 438 m³ in total.

The first aircraft flew from Everett on 20 June 1995 and entered service with UPS on 16 October 1995. A general-market version with onboard freight-handling systems, refrigeration and crew facilities followed, first delivered to Asiana Airlines on 23 August 1996.

Steady freighter demand kept the 767 line running long after passenger orders dried up. In December 2011 FedEx Express ordered 27 to replace its DC-10 freighters, and FedEx and UPS became the two largest operators of the type.
