UPS and FedEx have temporarily grounded all 57 MD-11 freighter aircraft in their fleets to conduct checks following the catastrophic accident involving one of the planes this week. The post UPS and FedEx halt MD-11 flying to conduct safety review appeared first on FreightWaves.

The Federal Aviation Administration has ordered all McDonnell Douglas MD-11 aircraft grounded pending further inspection, following UPS and FedEx each deciding to ground the planes that make up part of their cargo fleet.

Veterans Day is on Tuesday, Nov. 11, and while restaurants, grocery stores, and retail stores will largely remain open on the day, banks and post offices will not.

UPS and FedEx will ground their fleets of McDonnell Douglas MD-11 planes "out of an abundance of caution" following a deadly crash at the UPS global aviation hub in Kentucky.
