Fedex Express expanding at Newcastle Intl Airport
Fedex Express, a subsidiary of Fedex Corp. and the world’s largest express transportation company, has expanded its operations at Newcastle International Airport, to serve growing export and import demands in the region. Fedex Express has moved into its own modern facility at the airport, equipped with the latest scanning technology, allowing on-site sorting and package scanning.
The new facility supports an upgrade to a Fedex-branded B737-400 aircraft, which is three times the size of its current ATR72 aircraft, adding approximately 68 kg of additional inbound and outbound capacity per week.
A new weekly outbound flight will be added to the current flight schedule, meaning five outbound flights and four inbound flights will operate to and from Newcastle Airport. (cj)
