Title: FedEx surge
Post by: RodBearden on April 09, 2009, 09:59:28 AM

Has anyone else noticed that there's been a sudden rise in the number of FedEx aircraft on the network? It seems to me like they had a grand ADS-B switch-on yesterday.

Anyone know anything about it?

I wonder if this is part of the Fedex Package tracking system.
Doesnt Fedex try to let you track a parcel or package from despatch to delivery.
If they use their own aircraft then this would let you see the location, while outside of Oceanic areas.
