FedEx's four 757Fs to boost northern European next-biz-day service

2012 04 17


FEDEX Express will enhance its capacity on its northern Europe network with the addition of four Boeing 757 freighters on its next-business day service to eight major European airports.

"The introduction of these aircraft offers customers more time to prepare packages and get them to their destinations in the fastest time possible," said FedEx UK managing director Will Martin.

Extra capacity, allowing heavier freight shipments of 68 - 1,000 kilogrammes, will enable door-to-door service between the US east coast for the first time and Sweden, Finland and Norway, reported London's International Freighting Weekly. This will allows FedEx to cut two slower feeder services and retire aging aircraft, including an Airbus A300.

The introduction of the new aircraft also allows FedEx Express to axe two slower feeder services operated by smaller regional aircraft, as well as an A300, as part of the ongoing process of modernising its fleet, said Mr Martin.
