FedEx Corp. has introduced a new flight route between Dublin, Ireland, and Indianapolis, Indiana. The service operates four days a week using a 767 aircraft and connects Dublin directly with Indianapolis, which is the company’s second-largest hub.
The company says this direct route will help shipments from Dublin avoid busy coastal entry points in the United States and arrive at their destinations one day sooner. It also provides U.S.-based shippers with improved access to European markets that are important for high-tech, healthcare, and transportation industries.
“This flight highlights the success of our Tricolor international network redesign strategy in strengthening our capabilities in the global air freight market,” said Richard Smith, chief operating officer, international and chief executive officer, airline. “By adding this route, U.S.-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.”
