FedEx Corp resumed MD-11 cargo flights on Monday afternoon after the FAA lifted a grounding order linked to a fatal crash. The regulatory clearance follows an extensive review of maintenance protocols developed by Boeing Co. The return to service ends a grounding period that FedEx previously estimated could cost the company up to $175 million.
