Fedex to expand in europe?
Word in the jungle is that Fedex are about to expand cargo ops in Europe big time. New aircraft (Turboprops)? and new operator and crews. Would need to be independant of UPS , TNT, DHL, I suppose. Good news for pilots and ground crews if its Fedex terms, as they are first class operator.Check fedex staff site at www.fedexpilot.org/)

Havent been following things around here lately, but I thought I heard Air Contractors are getting ATR's!?
Could there be a connection between this and the rumoured expansion of FedEx ops in Europe?
Who else is bidding for FedEx contracts?

Forgot to mention, haven,t heard anything from within the company regarding any major European expansion. Just a few new stations for the Airbus (Back to Moscow being one). There was a rumour flying round earlier this year about a possible takeover/purchase of Farnair but it seemed to just fade into the night!

teawhite1, Actually no FEs employed by FedEx except for a handful remaining from Tiger/Seaboard and they are on the pilot seniority list. All those fly the DC10 which no longer crosses either ocean. All crewmembers presently flying within Europe are based Memphis, TN., USA with all trips originating and terminating the same. All DC-10s will eventually be converted to MD10s and eventually a replacement will be decided on for the B727 so FEs will go the way of Radio Operators and Navigators.
