(Dow Jones)--United Parcel Service Inc. (UPS <http://money.excite.com/jsp/qt/full.jsp?time=0&symbol_search_text=UPS> ) will acquire 11 preowned Boeing MD-11 aircraft, expanding the capacity of its air network. Financial terms weren't released but the package delivery company said in a press release the acquisition won't require any adjustment to its capital spending plans. The additional aircraft bring the number of MD-11s in UPS's fleet and on order to 28. Fifteen of the 28 planes now are in service. UPS will take delivery of the first of these 11 aircraft during the first quarter, with the remaining deliveries extending through 2007. The sale was arranged by Focus Aviation on behalf of Central Air Leasing and at one time, the 11 were flown by Swiss Air. The MD-11 has the capacity to carry about 190,000 pounds of cargo and a range of nearly 3,900 nautical miles. The MD-11 serves as UPS's primary workhorse on international routes. "Our strong growth has increased our need for large aircraft and the MD-11 is part of that solution," said Bob Lekites, vice-president of UPS Airlines and international operations. UPS shares recently traded at $73.59, down 42 cents, or 0.6%. -Anjali Cordeiro; Dow Jones Newswires; 201-938-5400; AskNewswires@xxxxxxxxxxxx ------=_NextPart_000_00AC_01C5054E.788FB8C0 Content-Type: image/gif; name="dji.gif" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Location: http://money.excite.com/img/dji.gif R0lGODlhiAAnAPQAAP///yMfIMjHx1pXWJGPj0xJSqyrq3ZzdNbV1Z6dnePj4zEtLvHx8T87PGhl Zrq5uYSBggAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACwAAAAA iAAnAAAF/yAAFEFZDgQjroJjLoc6mCJiDiJhQmYitqZATPQwOVaLEkEQDOYaQQdiRa1ar9istfma injcAmNWEh1uImhgcC4JADpuQxUvKQAK0yPBDTQAZE0LXlqFhoVMfWtfigEEbQEADEknAEVuJGV8 igeAQQSWJgqQBQOmEAZBaiVHh66vK6klBUAmCIklPi4lDXUAspW7fyYNeSadYAELAKvKcCXLmQEq K7sBEJJosNuGyaCTetY4ALiOJgLNC8YBBrgOpD9BDFwGZDgvAvlvgQsQDw/5CHEbaCXQAxGBNpUw EM9EnTo9oP1ySIldQzdcBqiBUM6JwhegCIrcIkpERYh3AP8oXABMTUU1oJJ99ALMXAlIJgzU1IbT 4cifAGxIJBekZjUjHdlxuWPQiZkbwtbZSnaAgNWDP6wNBUoQGA4G0hqUEyG1XZMDHTsBIFZOhYKK BtQcCVQmUMqgpgYwfEaDK8E6BxI0eyCVwANpBYgGUdBxitA1844JCLtWSSgTiT9ZJQBsAcA6y/wO pHsWoaJBeILgKDcOGKieXXBhXaVX0UcuIUVvqxhkQe63cggFeVNuL6SDYPskIGCNd6Pnqq8KuKtb S968BwxQW8EAQqYBCbYDMtVq/AAHAh7JIyJNUQNTVhPoo26Icb7lBEwteE9AfvX/h7TnxwHNYOYA Z9MBeMX/LQRAMEABDiQgkIL/SdUHCgZMSOEhDAiw14a6IZAAaQNmCOKJKBrywAHONZAdfSnGGOOK zhUgoYw44qgABDUmAGMWEBzR3RE3/jDAG9ww4AJWOfpVTxMN+MhNAWoVgA1LKxTxoyFVISBekwQp QABvMGhYBQMEiGnJAwgw1IsPLImIBwFtDuIDAwmEZwBhBuQWFJ0CLFAemGH2FOWXWMwABR8OODgP FEw8sMAy7yUAQQMkAOLAAgUsimlKDzTgwABFfEjoNqM0UYCphqTCxGQ8LhFAEXwAcMBcC4wxgINM oJUKAjZgI0IBVh0Zyamo9nQkNwQUIOk8JKBArLSTOdAn/y2zPuiCAg80C4eDKzgCnrfIwnKLPvkQ 5ICLCCggxQDANsqAAQ4wcIA/uwLibprnIQCBLqSukB9Dt5bbZJQzgsWkwSnmd8CW/z3oJ8MUV2zx xRhzcy6603GsjwgdosvALT+QlQ81AZ0pX7sep0wOuvblE/PJP6T7S3gvE4euFzYLwHMNNG+zawEQ El2AAnzkGYClxyoZwGRiHFClWwGI8dSEEerQ7AxJi5tY0jzkkR2xMFyzAJJ8IBPh10sDECQf+SU2 wz4hJRaUEIh2M56uqz39KgDl8YGAC3CkNKsIi+RwLBXH9oKADra+WkQ+T4+wFijdyvd0O/GkWTk7 f+uz+f/TOnSyxN2GT+zKQab80vqrr55ew9I6DB6PsIk/s4UPnOlulod+k36QIx6y+SqwnafCFHqV i54e6VCI+UYqezkiUuuA0MIH5QmoFe6t7KhFAKaIj6N7FdDsBTlRCTiQGBPtI34rkn+z4Mj6poTO /ahwpFLVGyxSi/UIgj2NqIdyBzAfQkqxhpA0ahprMd/6qFAHOhyrV1YiSgLLR4t4IKlz+Dtb8xDY CzgI4AxosZVGEKe6VxSwb5RLDwO2o7W5pWEGw2vN+pCEADa54A07JF0AGEO6OzgCIHeoHwiPlb8R xm4aSzDGdEwxxMuVTGjjeF3wpgOQLAmxBv64RgQRsr6zkJwwDUC84NMm9yo1OWKGoFCiAlJhmABM gQ36e2J69rE5pTHEemjixguJEsPIcWcahxGBf8i3CAGggIk/yBUzFOdB2FXuHnGMY+VyYMMGDE8A 88AGoNZIOuI8DQIzFIIV+/SAQRXCAJPKUCxJQLSqkeCDgMCDWuKUhBksYAC/hIJGLkgebCAACtig ZR5qWctUvMc3I6gaC4hWg/OEJBVsiObR/OAihCSAJan4pR9mwJkGhAAAOw== ------=_NextPart_000_00AC_01C5054E.788FB8C0--
