The Amazon ramp now under construction in CVG will add 100 aircraft parking spots. The new Amazon ramp scheduled to complete in 2023? will add 200 more aircraft parking spots. 300 new spots total in CVG.

UPS is getting a smaller piece of a growing pie. UPS keeps eating the high margin piece, though. It's good to be king.

This makes sense from what we have heard...Amazon and UPS working together.

Well, maybe. Short term? Yes.. Long term? I guess you’d have to define “working together” and look into which side truly benefits from this relationship.
Personally I believe Fred was right in cutting ties with Amazon.

The way I look at it, UPS is the human and Amazon is the cute wild bear the human is raising. At first the bear is friendly and playful and able to be tamed by the human. We all know the bear will grow up and will eat the human the first chance it gets. Just sayin, I think FedEx did the right thing by kicking that damn bear out of its house!

FedEx struggling with the divorce terms, but still profitable. Personally, I see this as a growing market space that was going to have room for another player. There will eventually be further drama when UPS and Amazon inevitably squabble, but ultimately I’m guessing they all survive.
