Fahiruz 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2010 sure.bt that not atc..just ground control tower..traffic stil handled by china authority which sometimes can be strict when it comes to unsked flights i.e backup flights to cover ac having mech probs the hub will be active mostly aftr midnight when all ac will start coming in from gateways such as icn, sin, bkk,kul,pen,pvg,crk,mnl,etc.. can-hub is linked to our regional hubs such as anc for america n cdg for europe.. even though fx has the largest cargo fleet we still use comm flights to syd via sin..so u wont see our md11 workhorse in au or nz..

Fahiruz 0 Report post Posted April 14, 2010 (edited) Maybe you guys read about this already..but here's again.. FedEx Panda Express FedEx has a long history of transporting rare and delicate shipments. Today, we made a very special delivery of two giant pandas from Washington D.C., U.S. to Chengdu, mainland China. The two giant pandas - Tai Shan, a four-and-a-half-year-old male panda born at the National Zoo, Washington, D.C. and Mei Lan, a three-year-old female panda born at Zoo Atlanta – will arrive at the Chengdu Shuangliu Airport later this afternoon on the FedEx Panda Express, a specially-branded FedEx 777F aircraft. Upon arrival, the pandas will be transported to their new homes in Chengdu – Tai Shan to the China Conservation and Research Center’s Wolong Nature Reserve and Mei Lan to the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. I am delighted that FedEx is able to support this meaningful global conservation program for these endangered animals. Our support of special deliveries such as the giant pandas highlights our commitment to the communities where we do business, as well as our support for animal conservation and educational initiatives.

Fahiruz 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2010 (edited) WOW>>> I remember I order a car spoiler from US- Takes 5 days!!That was pretty fast. std transit time is within 3 business days if no clearance delays Yeah, understand Sir Sultan even has to fly the plane himself sometimes And what does panda do but prance around and eat and sleep ?! At FedEx, we have been honored to play a role in the preservation of the giant panda. Most recently, we delivered two giant pandas from the United States to Chengdu. These two pandas, Tai Shan and Mei Lan, have now joined the panda breeding program and will play a part in increasing the giant panda population, which is now at fewer than 1,600 in the wild.

Tony 1 Report post Posted April 23, 2010 Good stuff Fahiruz! Thanks for sharing those amazing pics. Looking much more impressive than DHL Express' SIN HUB. Then again SINHUB is only a small facility compared to this FedEx hub in CAN. That autoscanner (last pic), is that part of the autosort system as well?
