"Boeing has a fix for the grounded MD-11, according to FedEx" by @TheSeattleTimes / Lauren Rosenblatt - FedEx says it expects to get its 28 MD-11 widebody cargo planes un-grounded soon with Boeing-approved fix, once FAA also approves. The fix is replacement of parts in engine pylon mounting points and then increased rate of inspection for wear and fatigue. The fix comes after UPS abandoned the MD-11. https://www.seattletimes.com/business/boeing-aerospace/boeing-has-a-fix-for-the-grounded-md-11-according-to-fedex/ #UPS2976 #MD11grounding #aviation #business #cargo #avgeek

"Fleet of UPS planes grounded after deadly crash expected to miss peak delivery season" by @AssociatedPress - MD-11s are no longer expected to return to service during the holiday cargo rush. FAA & Boeing have yet to issue findings or required inspections. So UPS is indefinitely grounding its MD-11s, 9% of its fleet. UPS contingency plans for the holidays have included hiring other cargo airlines for some loads. https://apnews.com/article/ups-md11-planes-crash-louisville-13dbb6ec286ddc966c6bd1c9f3b3627c #UPS2976 #MD11grounding #aviation #business #cargo #avgeek
