FedEx opens new Estonia hub

[ September 24, 2025   //   ]

Federal Express has started operations at its new, automated sorting facility at Tallinn Airport in Estonia. The facility, which combines ground and air services, is the first cargo terminal on the southern side of the Airport City business complex at the airport.

With a threefold increase in space compared with previous sites, the new warehouse can process, weigh, and measure up to 3,000 parcels per hour. It features multi-sided scanning, which captures package dimensions and barcode data from all angles, and has direct access to the airport, where a FedEx aircraft operates every business day to and from Fedx’s main European hub, Paris Charles-de-Gaulle, a gateway to international markets across the US and Asia.

FedEx Europe vice president of ground operations, Nordics and Eastern Europe, Mariusz Mik, said: “By focusing on speed and efficiency, FedEx is not only supporting the country’s economy, like the growing e-commerce sector, but also empowering local entrepreneurs to reach customers in over 220 markets worldwide. This is how we connect Estonia’s culture of innovation with the globe.”

The investment was also welcomed by chief executive of the Estonian E-Commerce Association, Tõnu Väät, who commented: “E-commerce in Estonia grows by around 20% every year, already reaching an annual turnover of €5.2 billion. There is certainly still room for growth in Estonian exports, especially in the field of e-commerce. One global obstacle is undoubtedly the high cost of logistics – volumes are small, and shipping is expensive.”

“Any investment in Estonia by an international logistics partner — whether in sorting capacity, warehouse space, or transportation modes — definitely lays a foundation for export growth. That’s why we welcome the opening of the new FedEx logistics center in Tallinn and hope that, in light of this recent development, we’ll also be able to offer Estonian e-merchants more competitive prices that support growth.”
