[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 2322319, member: 12508"] Amazon is leasing more aircraft and is probably going to start buying them as well. It sounds like they're going to build a large-sized fleet. The article I read said they were in negotiations with Boeing for possibly 747's and 767's, and that their air ops are based out of Wilmington, OH, which was Airborne's old hub. That means in my mind that they are spooling-up for an Express style system. Amazon could get an excellent deal on 747's, because the airplane is a slow-seller and Boeing wants to keep the line going. A 747-8 freighter would make sense in certain high density routes, and the supply of 767's for freighter conversion is very limited, so Amazon will likely be buying. Once they start owning the planes, the commitment is there to something bigger. Give them 5 years and FedEx will be in deep :censored:. [/QUOTE]
