Transportation Infrastructure

• The new FedEx Mid-Atlantic Air Hub - an almost 1 million square-foot facility - is under construction at the Piedmont Triad International Airport.

• On schedule for completion in 2009, the new FedEx Hub will be the company's fifth major U.S. air cargo hub. The Hub will be capable of sorting 24,000 packages per hour and be served by 20-25 aircraft each weekday.

• Some business advantages enhanced through a close location to a FedEx Hub are the ability to meet higher customer service expectations, have a more ambitious inventory strategy, focus more on supply chain optimization, ship to and from a variety of domestic or worldwide locations and have more shipping flexibility overall.

• The current FedEx operation is one of the original 11 distribution centers the company established 25 years ago. FedEx currently employs more than 250 workers in Greensboro area facilities.

• A third parallel 9,000 ft runway also is under construction at Piedmont Triad International Airport to accommodate the FedEx operation.
