We maintain an inventory of spare engines and parts for each aircraft.
All of the aircraft we own meet Stage III federal noise regulations and can operate at airports that have
aircraft noise restrictions. We became the first major airline to successfully operate a 100% Stage III fleet more
than three years in advance of the date required by federal regulations.
During 2007, we placed into service 10 Boeing MD-11 aircraft and 3 Boeing 747-400F aircraft. In February
2007, we announced an order for 27 Boeing 767-300ER freighters to be delivered between 2009 and 2012. We
also have firm commitments to purchase nine Boeing 747-400F aircraft scheduled for delivery between 2008 and
2010 and two Boeing 747-400BCF aircraft scheduled for delivery during 2008. Also, during 2007 we sold 21
727-100 aircraft, with eight remaining to be sold in 2008. In addition, we terminated the agreement to purchase
10 Airbus A380-800 freighter aircraft including the options to purchase 10 additional A380-800 aircraft.
Vehicles
We operate a ground fleet of approximately 100,000 package cars, vans, tractors and motorcycles. Our
ground support fleet consists of over 26,000 pieces of equipment designed specifically to support our aircraft
fleet, ranging from non-powered container dollies and racks to powered aircraft main deck loaders and cargo
tractors. We also have about 41,000 containers used to transport cargo in our aircraft.
Safety
We promote safety throughout our operations. Our Automotive Fleet Safety Program is built with the
following components:
•Selection. Five out of every six drivers come from our part-time ranks. Therefore, many of our new
drivers are familiar with our philosophies, policies, practices and training programs.
