Postal Service has reduced its volume of shipments by aircraft by 90% over two years, putting the service on course to save $1 billion in annual transportation costsWASHINGTON -- The U.S. Postal Service has reduced its volume of shipments by aircraft by 90% over two years, putting the service on course to save $1 billion in annual transportation costs, U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy said Tuesday. Shifting packages and envelopes from air cargo to ground transportation was part of DeJoy's larger plan to improve the Postal Service’s financial health. That marks the start of eradicating over $20 billion of deferred maintenance and preparing the Postal Service for the next 30 years, he said. ___This story has been corrected to show that the local processing centers and sorting and delivery centers will be renovated, not built.
