FedEx’s Largest hub in Germany to be Built at the Cologne/Bonn Airport

August 6, 2007

FedEx Express,  the world’s largest express transportation company, will relocate its largest German gateway from Frankfurt/Main to the Cologne/Bonn airport in 2010. FedEx and the operator of the airport, Flughafen Köln/Bonn GmbH, signed a cooperation agreement. New ramp and sort facilities will be built on a total floor space of approximately 50,000 square meters. The reason for this decision is the rapidly-growing demand for express services in Germany and Eastern Europe and its alignment with the strategic objectives of the company.
