FedEx expanding cargo terminal at Incheon airport

FedEx Express has signed an agreement with Incheon International Airport Corp to confirm the construction of a new FedEx Cargo Terminal at the Incheon International Airport (ICN). The facility will cover 23,425 square metres, more than twice the size of the current facility, and include warehouse, office and canopy. It is expected to be completed in 2021.

In a statement issued on Thursday (28 September), FedEx said that it plans to deploy an advanced automated cargo sorting system at the new terminal. Once completed the new facility will have the capacity to sort up to 18,000 packages an hour.

“FedEx is investing to support the robust demand in Korean imports and exports to better serve our customers in this important market,” said Eun-Mi Chae, Managing Director, FedEx Express Korea. “With the expansion of our FedEx facility at Korea’s main gateway, we will improve our operational capabilities and create greater access to the global market supported through our integrated network.”
