FedEx Corporation subsidiary, FedEx Expess, has launched its inaugural revenue flight using a Boeing 757 freighter, Business Wire reports.
The new route flies a cargo service between Memphis International Airport (MEM) and the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) eight times per week.
DCA is a new airport for FedEx Express, and extends their connectivity in the mid-Altantic region.
Furthermore, in 2009, FedEx will introduce the Boeing 777 freighter to its fleet. The 777 uses 18 percent less fuel than the planes currently in its international fleet.
