FedEx is NOT going to leave China. I asked our CEO questions about China. He said most of the world’s industrial manufacturing takes place in the HK SAR/Guangdong Province and it would be financial suicide if FedEx pulled out of China.

He did say that many of our customers aren’t pulling out of China, for now but they have started a campaign of ABC, “anything but China” when looking for new or additional manufacturing opportunities considering the future and potential instability in China.

Moving the airline’s crews out of HK is definitely a possibility but would greatly impact the CAN hub. IMO, the OAK 767 base with 767ETOPS is a backup plan should the HK crews be grounded or continued disruption between HK and CAN.
