UPS said in a Nov. 7 statement it would temporarily ground the MD-11 fleet effective immediately. The decision comes after the Nov. 4 crash of a UPS cargo flight in Louisville, where at least 14 people died, including three crew members, and others are still missing as of Nov. 7. It’s the deadliest crash in UPS Airlines history.

UPS and FedEx have temporarily grounded all 57 MD-11 freighter aircraft in their fleets to conduct checks following the catastrophic accident involving one of the planes this week. The post UPS and FedEx halt MD-11 flying to conduct safety review appeared first on FreightWaves.

AHM monitors aircraft systems in real-time to detect developing issues before they become failures. FedEx has integrated AHM across various aircraft types in its fleet, including the Boeing 777, 767, 757, and MD-11, leveraging the system's ability to handle many reportable faults.
