FARGO, N.D. (AP) - Fargo’s Hector International Airport has landed the Fed Ex Express air cargo company.
Airport Authority Executive Director Shawn Dobberstein tells KFGO radio (https://bit.ly/1S00eSp ) that a five-year contract has been signed that calls for the airport to make about $1.4 million in improvements to accommodate up to 20 Fed Ex Express flights daily.
In return, Hector International will receive about $115,000 in landing fees per year and could take in an additional $100,000 in federal airport funding related to air cargo operations.
Fed Ex Express will move from the Grand Forks airport, with the first Fargo flights expected in the fall. The company cites enhanced service to customers in North Dakota and northern Minnesota for the move. About 75 people will work for Fed Ex Express in Fargo.
