MONTREAL, Nov 8 (Reuters) - The Federal Aviation Administration has issued an order prohibiting the flight of MD-11 planes, pending inspection, following a fiery crash earlier this week of a UPS UPS.N MD-11 cargo freighter in Louisville, Kentucky.
UPS and FedEx FDX.N said on Friday they have grounded their combined fleet of more than 50 McDonnell Douglas MD-11 cargo planes following a recommendation by Boeing BA.N, after the crash on Tuesday at a Kentucky airport killed at least 14 people.
