FedEx Express Resumes Operations at Charles de Gaulle Airport
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – April 19, 2010 (9:00 p.m. CDT) FedEx Express has restarted its operations at Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) in Paris with a flight leaving CDG for Memphis and seven flights leaving the U.S. for CDG. Additional freight from the Company’s Asia Pacific and Middle East regions are also being flown into CDG.
Due to the fluid nature of the movement of the volcanic ash, the Company is still monitoring this situation very carefully and will continue to take advantage of any opportunity to fly into additional airports as they open. However, the Company cautions that it will take time to clear backlogs of cargo and customers should expect delays in shipments.
As previously noted, FedEx Express is focused on prioritizing freight on a “first in/first out” basis and indicated it is not accepting deferred international freight at this time. FedEx is asking those customers who have shipments requiring special attention; i.e. temperature control, dry ice or perishables hold their shipments until the Company is able to resume its normal flight schedule.
The Company’s Money Back Guarantee does not apply to delays of this nature that are beyond the control of FedEx Express.
July 21 – The FAA is ordering U.S. operators of 138 Boeing 767 airplanes to reduce the initial pylon inspection time mandated in a September 22, 2005 Airworthiness Directive from 10,000 to 8,000 total flights. This inspection must be done within 400 flights after the most recent inspection required by the 2005 directive, or within 90 days, whichever occurs later.
