UPS and FedEx could struggle to fulfill deliveries over the crucial holiday period after one of the main freighter jets in their air-cargo fleet was grounded following the deadly plane crash in Kentucky earlier this month.
The delivery giants are working to secure enough freighters after their fleets of workhorse MD-11 were grounded indefinitely, following the tragedy in which the engine was torn off as a 34-year-old model took off on 4 November, killing 14 people, including the plane’s crew of three.
