FedEx has phased out 15 aircraft as it continues to introduce the Boeing 767F to its fleet. The Memphis, Tennessee-based cargo carrier has withdrawn seven MD-11Fs, one MD-10-10, three A300s and four A310s. It has also brought forward retirement dates for a further 23 airframes, though it didn't disclose further details. FedEx said the 767F, which it introduced in 2011 and is replacing older types, is approximately 30% more fuel efficient. Etihad Airways has ordered four Embraer Phenom 100Es for its Etihad Flight College at AI Ain, UAE. They will be used to teach approximately 120 Emirati and international pilot cadets annually. The first students start training in the first quarter of next year.
