Almost 60 MD-11s need to be replaced at some point and using two 767s to replace one MD-11 would consume even more gate space than a 777XF. The gate space issue will need to be solved by changing the whole operation somehow, some way.
This is exactly the issue. Spot on. Same for Brown. The MD is a major problem for both, meaning not an easily replaceable type due to it’s physical dimensions and it’s robust payload.
