Major world markets are suddenly closer — now that FedEx Express flies direct via a fleet of Boeing 777 Freighters. The air freighter’s extra-long flight range means greater access to your global trade partners, reducing transit times by as much as a full day. By eliminating refueling stops, we’ve extended cutoff times by two hours in select markets. Fewer stops and less congestion at transfer hubs streamline your supply chain.
FedEx has already deployed more 777s than any other U.S.-based express cargo carrier, increasing your speed of delivery to key destinations across the globe. One more reason to go places with FedEx.
See how our 777 fleet can help you increase your speed to market.

Performance and Efficiency

As part of an ongoing upgrade of the FedEx Express fleet, the new aircraft offers a premium blend of performance and efficiency. In service since February 2009, the Boeing 777 is the largest and longest-range twin-engine freighter. It has a payload capacity of 112 tons (102 metric tons). Its flight range of 4,900 miles (9,070 kilometers), with a full payload, is nearly 900 nautical miles more than the MD-11.
The 777 also represents the next step in FedEx efforts to reduce our carbon footprint. The aircraft supports the company’s commitment to the environment in three ways:

• 24 percent better fuel economy per pound of revenue payload than the 747-400BCF, thanks to an advanced wing design, more efficient engines and a lighter structure.
• 18 percent fewer emissions than the MD-11, largely because of the improved fuel efficiency.
• QC2 noise standards, with advanced noise reduction on landings and takeoffs for maximum accessibility to noise-sensitive airports.
