FedEx rolls out direct cargo route between Dublin and Indianapolis

FedEx said this week it has started a direct cargo flight between Dublin, Ireland, and Indianapolis, Indiana. The four-day-a-week service shortens shipping times by a full day by skipping the crowded coastal gateways.

The route connects Ireland’s export-driven economy more closely to the U.S. Midwest. Pharmaceuticals and medical equipment make up a large share of Ireland’s trade with the United States.

“This flight highlights the success of our Tricolor international network redesign strategy in strengthening our capabilities in the global air freight market,” said Richard Smith, chief operating officer, international and chief executive officer, airline. “By adding this route, U.S.-based customers can reduce delivery times to one of Europe’s key innovation hubs, where industries like healthcare, electronics, and aerospace are experiencing significant growth. Our network, augmented by advanced digital tools, is designed to support customers in these expanding sectors.”
