Amazon buys 11 Boeing 767s to expand its cargo fleet
I remember watching a video from Wendover Production talking about the decline of 747 and A380s mainly due to a lack of guaranteed passengers to fill the plane routes in both directions.Exceptions being some airlines which are able to operate hub and spoke models and where fuel is cheap like the middle east airlines.Wouldn't these types of planes be more suitable for a role in logistics which can benefit the greater density of packing?I am guessing this is something to do with fuel savings, and new composite materials meaning that smaller planes are still more efficient. However, would that necessarily apply to recent 747s/a380s which I think have composite materials and can be retrofitted to efficient engines? I figure these specific planes must be on sale as they are withdrawn from service so I am curious about the use of 767s here.
