FedEx Corp. commits to buy 16
Boeing 777s
Memphis-based FedEx Corp. has committed to buying 16 Boeing 777s as part of a fleet modernization program - a potential investment of an estimated $5 billion.
According to Boeing Co., the current price tag for a 777 averages about $318.7 million - a 2.9 percent price increase from 2014's average of $309.7 million. At the current rate, an order of 16 would cost about $5 billion. However, it's possible a large order would come with a discount.
While FedEx did not make an announcement about buying the 777s, the company is committed to purchase 16 of the aircraft, from Boeing, according to FedEx's Q2, FY 2016 Stat Book.
Representatives for FedEx say they have been committed to these aircraft for some time and included them in the company's 2015 Annual Report, published in August.

Fulfillment of the 16 additional
aircraft order will begin in 2020, with an anticipated delivery of three planes
that year and three in 2021.
In July, market intelligence fueled airline industry rumors about FedEx upping its order of 767 Freighters from Boeing and adding an order of up to 10 additional 777 Freighters. FedEx confirmed that it agreed to purchase 50 additional 767s, bringing the total order to 106 through fiscal 2023. At the current average price of about $199.3 million, that comes to $9.9 billion in additional investment for the 767s.
