Fedex has exercised options for 15 Boeing 777 Freighters and has added options for another 15 aircraft.

Fedex in a filing with US regulators outlined 777F deliveries four fiscal years 2010-2019. The carrier's fiscal year runs from 1 June to 31 May.
Four 777Fs are scheduled for delivery in 2010, four in 2011and three in each fiscal year through 2018. The last scheduled for delivery in 2019.
