The first phase of the FedEx Asia Pacific Transit Center project started construction on January 16th in Huadong Town, Huadu District, Guangzhou. The Asia Pacific hub was put into operation in October 2008. FedEx is the first multinational freight giant to establish an intercontinental hub in China, bringing China $150 million in investment, an annual cargo volume of 600000 tons, and the opportunity for Baiyun Airport to take off. After the transfer center is completed and put into use, there will be 228 cargo planes traveling back and forth every week in the initial stage, and its parcel sorting capacity can reach 24000 pieces per hour. Starting from December 2008, the hub took on the business of the Asia Pacific hub originally located in the Philippines. FedEx can add over 600000 tons of cargo throughput to Baiyun Airport in one year, and it will increase to 800000 to 1 million tons in the future.
