(Bloomberg) — FedEx Corp. is shutting its crew base in Hong Kong, the world’s busiest international cargo hub, and relocating its pilots as the city considers stricter measures on flight crew to curb the spread of Covid.

While the crew base will close, FedEx will continue to operate in Hong Kong because the city is a vital part of its Asia Pacific and global network, the U.S. company said in an emailed statement Wednesday. The company said it’s providing support for the relocation process of crew members, without providing further details.
