FedEx to create jobs at Piedmont Triad International Airport

Between 160 and 170 FedEx employees will move into the company’s new sorting facility at Piedmont Triad International Airport, and company officials say they hope to add another 170 positions as early as this autumn.

Between 160 and 170 FedEx employees will move into the company’s new sorting facility at Piedmont Triad International Airport, North Carolina, and company officials say they hope to add another 170 positions as early as this autumn.

The new $600m hub utilises the most modern sorting equipment in the world, and the company expects that as the economy rights itself, more packages will be sent and additional help will be needed to handle the increased load.

For now, FedEx will use the existing runways at the airport, but the shipping company’s own runway and taxiway are under construction. Depending on the weather, officials believe they will open as early as this autumn or as late as next spring.
