ANC FedEx trips.
ANC is an MD-11 base for FedEx. It is the primary sort facility for all cargo coming from the Pacific. The flights from the Pacific (NRT, HKG, SIN, TPE, KIX, ICN, etc) will arrive in ANC in the late morning early afternoon, packages will get sorted, and then the outbound flights to the lower 48 (EWR, OAK, LAX, IND, MEM, etc) will leave in the afternoon to arrive in time for the night sort. At the same time, flights from the lower 48 will depart the sort facilities in the early a.m. and arrive in ANC in the morning, packages will get sorted, and the flights to the Pacific will depart in the late morning and early afternoon. That is the basic flight operation schedule for ANC.
