Passenger / Express Cargo Comparison

Fed– 3.5 Million Packages per day (based on 7 day week)– 683 Aircraft Total – 1.45 billion gallons of fuel/yr

Passenger Airlines– Average of 175,000-200,000 customers per day

What does this mean?– FedEx serves 16X as many customers as passenger airlines daily– A cargo flight has approximately 10X more economic value to a

community than a passenger flight

Differences from Passenger Carriers

Time definite service usually comes with a money back guarantee, therefore delays, cancellations and diversions are intolerable, not an inconvenience

Airport capacity and efficiency are more critical– The large capital cost of hub sort facilities drive

requirement– Unlike in the past, cargo operators have large daytime

operations
