UPS retires all MD-11 planes following fatal Louisville crash
UPS has officially retired its MD-11 aircraft, the same type involved in the Louisville crash. In their recent fourth-quarter earnings and 2026 guidance report, UPS confirmed the completion of retiring the MD-11 fleet as part of their fleet modernization efforts. The tragic crash in Louisville led to the grounding of all MD-11s by UPS and FedEx as a precautionary measure, with the NTSB investigating structural issues with the engine mount area as a potential cause. Despite a loss of $137 million in the last quarter of 2025 for retiring the fleet, UPS remains focused on their fleet modernization goals and ensuring aircraft safety.
