Fedex Express is preparing to bring its McDonnell Douglas MD-11 freighters back into service, with operations expected to resume in May, as reported by Cargo Facts. The announcement comes from the company’s leadership as the Memphis-based cargo giant looks to restore capacity across its global network. The aircraft had been grounded as part of a broader industry pause following a fatal UPS MD-11 crash last year. Their return signals renewed confidence in the type after months of inspections and operational reassessments.
