Boeing has collected the largest single commitment for 767s in the 37 years since the program’s industrial launch with Tuesday’s purchase agreement with FedEx Express covering fifty 767-300F freighters worth as much as $10 billion at list prices. FedEx Express has also taken options to buy another 50 of the airplanes. Schedules call for deliveries of the airplanes on firm order to run from FedEx’s 2018 fiscal year through FY2023.
