FedEx Corp., the only current commercial customer for Boeing Co.’s 767 cargo jet, is in talks to acquire at least 25 more of the twin-engine freighters, two people familiar with the matter said.
The shipping company’s directors met in the Seattle area over the weekend, where the deal was on the agenda, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the details are private. The planes’ list value would be about $5 billion, one of the people said, before the customary discounts.
