FedEx has opened a new, 19,000 sq ft cargo handling facility at the UK’s East Midlands Airport (EMA). The new facility will operate independently from the company’s pre-existing parcel sorting operations and is designed to enhance freight handling efficiency at the gateway, while providing customers with improved connectivity to the US, EU, Asia Pacific (APAC) region and the rest of the world.

The expanded site increases capacity, streamlines freight preparation, and strengthens FedEx’s UK and international network. According to FedEx, the facility supports rising demand across key trade lanes and offers businesses in the East Midlands faster, more reliable access to the US, APAC, EU and beyond.
