FedEx opens dedicated freight facility at East Midlands Airport
The 19,000 sq ft purpose-built facility at East Midlands Airport operates independently from the company’s existing parcel sorting operations.
IT IS designed to enhance freight handling efficiency, while providing customers with improved connectivity to the US, EU, APAC and the rest of the world.
FedEx UK Air Operations managing director Steve Johnson says: “This new freight facility builds on the momentum of our recent expansion in Manchester and demonstrates our ongoing commitment to a more resilient and connected FedEx network.”
Designed with safety and efficiency at its core, the location is equipped with multiple trailer docks and recessed building pits designed for safer handling. The new facility also enables a more streamlined and efficient process for preparing freight. Additional capacity will significantly increase throughput, strengthening the company’s ability to meet rising customer demand across key international trade lanes.
