[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 295734, member: 12508"] FedEx has always had trouble in Europe and got a lot of really bad press awhile back when they just walked away from Great Britain. I've heard we fly a lot of half-empty planes to Europe, which return to the US with even less of a load. People forget just how small Europe is size-wise compared to the USA. Many countries are so close together that overnight pkgs can be trucked instead of flown. The express market is small because the European postal services are very efficient, unlike the USPS. That makes it doubtful that the overnight segment of the business will ever be that lucrative for any US operator that moves in. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the UPS presence in Europe mainly a ground operation? Both DHL and TNT are excellent companies...in Europe. I can remember seeing lots of orange and white TNT trucks here in the US before TNT pulled the plug on the domestic market. [/QUOTE]
