UPS has decided to ground its fleet of MD-11 planes “out of an abundance of caution” after a deadly crash at its global aviation hub in Kentucky. The company announced the decision late Friday. The MD-11 aircraft make up about 9% of its airline fleet. UPS stated that the decision was made proactively at the recommendation of the aircraft manufacturer. The crash occurred Tuesday at UPS Worldport in Louisville, Kentucky, killing 14 people, including the three pilots on the MD-11 that was headed for Honolulu.
