Express carrier deploys Boeing 767 freighters on a four-times-weekly schedule to its second-largest hub, targeting healthcare and high-tech sectors
FedEx has added a new flight between Dublin, Ireland and Indianapolis, US in order to speed up delivery times by bypassing more congested US airports.
The flights will operate four days a week using one of the express giant’s Boeing 767 freighter aircraft, connecting the Irish capital with the second largest hub in FedEx’s network.
FedEx said that avoiding more congested airports means goods will arrive at their destination around one day faster than they had previously.
Target markets for the new service include high-tech and healthcare.
Richard Smith, chief operating officer, international and chief executive officer, airline, said: “By adding this route, US-based customers can reduce delivery times to one of Europe’s key innovation hubs, where industries like healthcare, electronics, and aerospace are experiencing significant growth.
«Our network, augmented by advanced digital tools, is designed to support customers in these expanding sectors.”

«The addition of a direct flight between Dublin and Indianapolis marks a proud milestone for FedEx, connecting businesses across key industries with US growth markets»…
