Federal Express Corporation has announced the official inauguration of its new global air transit facility at Istanbul Airport (IST). This strategic facility places FedEx at the crossroads of East and West, in a country rapidly emerging as a global air cargo powerhouse and a key hub for cross-border e-commerce. It strengthens the FedEx global network and underscores the company’s commitment to enabling global trade through advanced logistics infrastructure and cutting-edge technology. The location further integrates the global FedEx air network into the FedEx road network, one of the largest in the region, linking 45 countries and handling 1.3 million shipments weekly. Istanbul Airport, now Europe’s busiest air cargo hub, handled nearly two million tons of cargo in 2024, up 24% from the previous year.
