And US Postmaster General Louis de Joy announced the US Postal
Service has slashed its air shipments by 90% in two years.
This move to ground transportation is part of a postal cost
cutting effort and aiming to save around a billion dollars annually.
Currently, over 95% of first class mail and packages are transported via ground.
Despite these efforts,
the postal service foresees an extra $6
billion in first unforeseen expenses this year.
