UPS’s main hub is Louisville (SDF) - They have a smaller hubs in Philadelphia (PHL), Ontario (ONT), DFW, Rockford (RFD), Columbia (CAE), and Hartford (BDL)
Fedex’s main hub is in Memphis (MEM) - they have smaller hubs in Oakland, Newark, Anchorage, Indianapolis, and Ft. Worth
I know there is a HUB at CDG, and a fairly new hub in China which took the place of the once very large pacific hub in the Philippines ex Flying Tiger turf. I’m not sure how many flights YYZ gets, but it may just get a bunch which would make it seem like a hub…just like LAX…not a hub but a ton of flights.
That’s pretty much what I see parked there whenever I swing by.
Interestingly, the 5 airplanes located on the opposite side of the ramp are painted in Jetsgo livery. I assume they were parked there following the bankruptcy of Jetsgo indicating that Google’s satellite image is at least 4-years old.
Do you ever see feeders there? That may be why it is a hub. The jets come in and send a bunch of props out…just don’t get how 5 flights a day would constitote a “Hub” when I KNOW KLAX gets a ton more and yet are NOT a hub.
Interesting factoid about that other carrier…are the a/c still parked there?
DHL all but ceased operations in the US late last year and early this year, including ending their contract with ABX (which they bought), and going into operations with UPS (which was terminated in June 2009). Shortly after that, they dropped all US service, axed 9500 jobs, and are only running international operations (and barely at that).
Of course youre not going to hear anything about that on the news, This administration is supposed to be HELPING the economy and CREATING jobs. The liberal media isnt going to show anything that could be misconstrued as caused by the so called “improving” economy.
There are hundreds of important things everyday that get NO coverage by any network other than FOXNEWS.
Ah, the typical conservative kneejerk reaction. It’s almost like listening to rightwingers try to explain to me why net neutrality is a bad thing when they clearly have no idea what they’re talking about. With that, we close the political portion of this thread.
When you say bigger…fleet? destinations serviced?..which DHL? TNT?
I do know at one point in time a couple years ago FedEx had tried to buy TNT…do not know what ever came of that, but I am not thinking it happened or we would have been told.
