Testimony of Alain CHAILLE

Vice-Chairman, Southern European Operations - FedEx EMEA (Europe, Africa and the Middle East)

Boasting Europe’s most substantial GDP, the Paris Region is one of the most attractive European regions, located at the heart of European and global economic exchanges and offering significant potential for growth.

As the leading European airport in freight and postal traffic, Paris-Charles de Gaulle enjoys strategic positioning in Europe. That was one of the main reasons we established our European hub there in 1999. It also helps us better meet our business growth in Europe. Linked to the international FedEx network, this site is now the leading FedEx hub outside the United States. 2,200 of the 2,800 FedEx employees in France work there. Our network covers 95% of the world's economy within a 24- to 72-hour period, and every business day it carries 8 million packages to over 220 countries and territories.
