The $72.2m expansion adds more than 138,000 square feet to the main sort facility, bringing the total to more than 282,000 square feet.
Upgrades include a new customs clearance area and a 70,000 square foot cold chain facility, the largest in FedEx’s global network.
Richard Smith, Regional President of The Americas and Executive Vice President of Global Support at FedEx Express says: “The expansion of our Miami hub better positions us to meet growing customer demand and efficiently move increased e-commerce volume through our vast network.”
The expanded customs clearance area will speed up international operations and the cold chain facility has multiple rooms ranging from -13 degrees Fahrenheit to 77 degrees Fahrenheit.
Juan Cento, Regional President FedEx Express Latin America and the Caribbean says: “The added cold chain capacities will enable us to expand verticals in the Latin American region that require refrigeration, and the new customs clearance space will help expedite trade in and out of the busy air cargo port.”
