12 years of FedEx Express at Cologne Bonn Airport
FedEx Express celebrates the twelfth anniversary of its international hub at Cologne Bonn Airport. The transshipment center was opened on 28 June 2010 and is a central hub in FedEx Express’ international network, especially for destinations to and from Central and Eastern Europe. Since its inauguration, the hub has grown continuously and has recorded a total of around 35,000 regular take-offs and landings of FedEx cargo aircraft, i.e. approximately 78 cargo aircraft and an additional 1,000 trucks are handled here each week. More than 40,000 shipments leave the conveyor belt here every day.
Successful partnership with FedEX
According to the FedEx Handbook “OFMS” (Operational Floor Marking Standards) for internal floor marking within the group, the particular challenge of this project was to carry out all marking work in parallel with FedEx’s ongoing work processes. The daily operations were not to be disrupted in the process.
The drying times of the marking system were chemically adjusted so that the markings were loadable again after 10 min. In addition, attention had to be paid to the emission values during application, as employees were permanently present in the areas to be marked.
Thus, in 5 days we were able to successfully produce approx. 7,500 mtr. of footpath coating, 12,000 mtr. of logistics parking areas and 1,250 mtr. of crosswalks as well as various pictograms and special signs.
