UPS Flight 2976 crashed Tuesday evening as it departed Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport for Honolulu, according to the FAA.

The UPS freighter that crashed in Louisville was a 34-year old jet. While that’s old for a passenger plane, that’s not so unusual in the world of air cargo.

At least 12 people were killed and several others injured after a UPS plane crashed shortly after taking off from the Louisville International Airport on Tuesday.

The UPS cargo plane that crashed Tuesday was 34 years old and needed a critical repair on its fuel tank in September.The MD-11 plane was grounded in San Antonio from Sept. 3 through at least Oct. 18,

Airlines stopped flying MD-11s mainly because the aircraft initially failed to meet its promised performance, particularly in range and fuel efficiency, which led to many airlines canceling orders or replacing them with more efficient planes such as the Boeing 777 and Airbus A330, according to the Infinite Flight blog.
