A DHL regional cargo airline that operates a fleet of midsize Boeing 757 cargo jets from its base in Austria expects to add four Boeing 767 converted freighters this year for its European network but is seeking the option to fly them to the U.S.
DHL Air Austria will deploy 767-300 cargo jets in September to deliver packages and freight in Europe, a spokesman said in an email message that didn’t mention a specific number of aircraft. A request to U.S. authorities to open U.S. routes is purely precautionary, he explained.
