FedEx Express, a subsidiary of FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) and the world’s largest express transportation company, will expand its Seattle-area operations with a new ramp operation at Paine Field Snohomish County Airport in Everett, Wash beginning in the fall of 2021.

　　A new daily Boeing 757 flight will operate Monday through Friday between Paine Field and the FedEx Express World Hub in Memphis, Tenn. offering north Seattle-area customers in 37 ZIP codes extended pickup times by up to two hours. The new flight will also offer earlier market delivery times, additional dry ice capabilities, and increased overall market capacity.

“We are proud to grow our presence and enhance our services in the north Seattle market by expanding operations to Paine Field,” said Tim Wertner, senior vice president, U.S. operations west, FedEx Express. “Paine Field is already a driving economic force in Snohomish County, and this expansion positions our network for continued success in delivering for our customers.”

　　FedEx will occupy a 19.24-acre, 68,745-square foot facility, and the grounds offer the ability to expand with additional gates.
