FedEx warns of delays in some Louisiana markets due to Storm Francine
Sep 11, 2024 4:34 AM

(Reuters) - FedEx ( FDX ) said on Tuesday pickup and delivery services in some markets of Louisiana could be disrupted by the expected upheaval from Storm Francine, which is set to become the fourth hurricane of the Atlantic season.

Customers in New Orleans and Lafayette could see their services impacted, the parcel delivery giant said, adding it would update the list of affected areas as the storm progresses.

Francine was intensifying and was on track to become a hurricane, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said, prompting Louisiana residents to flee inland and oil and gas companies to shut-in Gulf of Mexico production.

The storm is expected to make landfall on Wednesday near Cameron in Louisiana, with life-threatening winds, drenching rains and a storm surge.

It could be a major test for the logistics industry, which has already had to grapple with several weather-related events this year.

In separate updates posted on its website, FedEx ( FDX ) also said it had resumed its international priority inbound and outbound services in Ukraine. Its international priority service provides time-definite delivery in one to three business days.

International inbound and outbound delivery services had also been reinstated in Israel, the company said. A surprise attack by Palestinian group Hamas in October had prompted FedEx ( FDX ) to suspend its services in the country.
