FedEx Express, a subsidiary of FedEx Corp., has opened a newly refurbished facility in the cargo centre of the Adolfo Suarez – Madrid Barajas airport.
Strategically located, this gateway will help support Spanish businesses with their domestic and international expansion. The project has included the full refurbishment of the warehouse, external yard, and office block, as well as the installation of a new sorting system, castor deck equipment and photovoltaic system.
The main warehouse will be able to manage an inbound capacity of 3,600 packages per hour, plus an outbound x-ray sorting capacity of 450 packs per hour and 1,800 packages per hour for x-ray by-pass. For larger shipments, it has a cage capacity that includes up to 17 docks for trailers, trucks, and vans for loading and unloading shipments. (cj)
