FedEx expands cargo capacity at Madrid-Barajas Airport

Federal Express Corporation has completed the modernization of its second airside facility at Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport. This upgrade increases the company’s total airside operational footprint in Madrid to over 4,500 square metres.

The expansion includes 1,550 square metres of airside operational warehouse space and 913 square metres for technical and administrative offices. To optimize material flow, the facility features four dedicated trailer docks, a castor deck roller platform for handling up to 14 air cargo containers, and high-density storage areas.

This modernization aims to streamline customs procedures and enhance the capacity of FedEx’s European network ahead of the peak shipping season. The upgrade is intended to support growing cross-border trade and reinforce Madrid’s role as a strategic transit hub for the Iberian Peninsula.
