Federal Express Corporation (FedEx) has announced the opening of a new 19,000ft² purpose-built facility at East Midlands Airport. The new facility operates independently from the company’s existing parcel sorting operations and is designed to enhance freight handling efficiency. FedEx aims to complete this objective while providing customers with improved connectivity to the US, EU, Asia Pacific region and the rest of the world. The new facility also enables a more streamlined and efficient process for preparing freight. “Together, these commitments create a more resilient and connected FedEx network, enabling us to support the increasing flow of goods between the East Midlands, the Northwest, and international markets.
