FedEx is back in business at its principal European hub, Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport.

FedEx Express reported this morning a flight leaving Paris for Memphis and seven flights leaving the United States for Paris. Freight from Asia-Pacific and Middle East regions also are being flown into Paris.

The company said in a statement: “Due to the fluid nature of the movement of the volcanic ash, the Company is still monitoring this situation very carefully and will continue to take advantage of any opportunity to fly into additional airports as they open. However, the Company cautions that it will take time to clear backlogs of cargo and customers should expect delays in shipments.”

A hold on accepting deferred international freight shipments remained in place, and the company asked customers to hold off sending items needing special handling, like temperature control.
