More than ever before, Americans are getting products delivered directly to their front doors. But do you know how the birthday present you just ordered for your loved one ended up on your doorstep?
If you’ve ordered anything online from flowers to electronics recently, it is likely that if it moved by air, it flew on a Boeing jet.
As a result of increased shipping demand, companies are finding new ways to make sure Americans get their deliveries on time. A number of companies have recently ordered freighter aircraft from Boeing in order to increase the speed, reliability, and fuel efficiency of their cargo fleet.

In the past few weeks, Boeing has seen the following customers order freighters:
- FedEx ordered 24 Boeing 767 and 777 Freighters
- DHL Express purchased 14 Boeing 777 Freighters
- Volga-Dnepr Group committed to buying 747 Freighters
- CargoLogic Holding signed a letter of intent to buy 29 Boeing 777 Freighters
- Qatar Airways ordered 5 Boeing 777 Freighters
American workers build the jets that carry goods across the country and freighter orders like these support hundreds of thousands of good paying jobs in the U.S.
As Americans continue to order more products for delivery, companies are adapting. This means more planes in the sky and more manufacturing jobs in America.
Find out why increased door-to-door deliveries means more jobs for Americans.
