• Federal Express (UK) is to expand its international division, with new international stations at Gatwick and Enfield and a new air cargo centre at Stansted Airport.
Other plans include a new air cargo centre at Birmingham Airport and additional daily flights from Dublin and Manchester to Brussels.
David Wilcox, managing director of the international division, says there has been an upsurge in international trade by UK companies: "This has led to an increased demand for time-guaranteed express distribution services worldwide." The extended network will increase export capacity and provide later cut-off times to customers in a wider area, including East Anglia and along the South Coast.
Computer systems are expected to speed up customs clearance at Stansted, where the company has applied for self-handling facilities.
