FedEx welcomes new jet to Dublin-London route expanding business opportunities for SMEs

FedEx Express (FedEx) is aiming to give SMEs a better opportunity to trade globally with the introduction of a new Boeing 767F cargo jet to its European fleet.

FedEx is a subsidiary of FedEx Corp and the world’s biggest express transportation company. This new addition is part of the company’s ongoing fleet modernisation strategy, offering more capacity for the exisiting Dublin-London-Paris route.

The first Boeing 767F to begin service in Europe for FedEx, the new aircraft brings supposedly better capacity and environmental performance compared to the aircraft it replaces, including noise reduction to the FedEx fleet.

Eser Sezek, managing director of Ireland operations, said: “We’re very excited about the introduction of the new Boeing 767F on the Dublin-London-Paris route.

“Modernising our fleet with cleaner, quieter, and more efficient aircraft is a top priority for FedEx Express and this new freighter represents another exciting milestone in this process.”

The newly introduced aircraft operates five times a week and connects FedEx hubs in Dublin, London Stansted, and Paris-Charles de Gaulle.

The new Boeing 767F can carry up to 91,000 pounds of cargo, which represents an increase in capacity of approximately 16 per cent compared to the aircraft it replaces.
