[edit] ATR-42

I know for a fact that FedEx operates way more than just 2 ATR-42s. This is wrong. I will try to find out the correct number and correct it.

[edit] Hubs

I know for a fact that Latin America does not exclusively use Miami International Airport for shippings being made to Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay. I have been working with FedEx for several years, and have personally received hundreds of packages, and not one single time (I live in Brazil) has a package passed through Miami. In the case of packages being sent to Brazil, all of them are sent via Memphis to Sao Paulo Guarulhos International Airport.

I edited the main article yesterday, but someone edited it back to its original text, where it states that all packages sent to South America go through Miami International Airport. This is wrong, and if it is needed I can provide proofs in form of trackingnumbers (AWB#) to prove that the packages do not go through Miami Int Airport, but through Memphis. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.7.111.50 (talk) 03:26, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Information has to be sourced, FedEx lists their hubs on their website: http://news.van.fedex.com/fedexexpress. Packages can go directly from Memphis to just about everywhere in the world, just because a plane flys directly from Memphis to Brazil does not mean that it is their hub. MEM and EWR also have direct flghts to places in Europe but that does not make them a hub, flights can orginate aand terminate from non hub locations. Please provide a source or the article has to be what FedEx and the sources claim. Tracking numbers are not always scaned and packages can be routed a diffrent day depending on what FedEx does.

[edit] Services

Is this list anywhere near complete?? I know for a fact that Fedex has mainline flights to Portland Maine, Manchester New Hampshire, Allentown PA...and many others. I've physically seen their 727s and Airbii at the airports I listed, so I'm assuming that they fly to many other destinations which I have not been to... That doesn't even take into account the feederliner services operated by Wiggins Airways and their equivilants throughout the United States on Cessnas Shorts 360s. Unless someone comes up with either a better definition of that list, or a better list altogether, I will remove that content. (On an afterthough, how does that list even make sense? The fleet list is 10 times as long as the destinations...)--KPWM_Spotter 00:27, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

I was just editing and included a "citation needed" tag for that section. There certainly are airport left out of the list, even those that were active as of the date cited. The FedEx website doesn't list the airports it serves outside of their domestic and international hubs. I'm in favor of deleting the entire section.--Imagineertobe 07:29, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

This information should be removed since there is too many service area to list for FedEx Express.

[edit] Why was this renamed?

Why on earth was this renamed with a disambiguator if there are no other meanings for "FedEx Express"? Jpatokal 04:29, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

This is all taken care of now. —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 20:17, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Inclusion of Nascar Sponsorship

I don't think this belongs. I reworked it, but it still reads like a Nascar article in an article about a Cargo airline, talking about place finished and blah blah. Not really relevant to an entry about a CARGO AIRLINE. I'm considering taking it out. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by WStewart07 (talk • contribs) 17:05, 6 April 2007 (UTC).

Should be merged into the main FedEx article. 72.77.5.2 03:08, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
