FedEx says made ‘necessary operational modifications’ to meet FAA directive

FedEx (FDX) issued the following statement on the FAA directive: “In response to the FAA’s U.S. flight capacity adjustment order, we have made the necessary operational modifications to meet the requirements so that shipments continue to move safely and swiftly through our network. Contingency plans are in place to flex our integrated air and ground network to help protect time-sensitive, critical shipments such as lifesaving pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and other products move through our network without disruption. A majority of our flights operate at night, outside of the FAA-restricted daily timeframe, and we have confirmed with the FAA that our international flights will continue without interruption. As always, safety remains our top priority.”
