*'''FedEx Express''': FedEx is the largest cargo carrier at SAN, with the A300, A310 making regular appearances. DC-10s and MD-11s may be seen on Fridays and Saturdays. 727s are seen less frequently. Three flights usually arrive in the very early morning, before 6:00AM, and normally have all departed by 8:00AM. A second set of three flights typically arrives between 4:00PM and 5:30PM. These usually depart again between 7:00PM and 8:30PM. Recently, FedEx has been using Airbus aircraft for the majority of its flights. However, one of the Friday afternoon flights, typically arriving at approximately 5:00PM and departing after dark, and one of the Saturday morning flights, typically arriving at 5:30AM and departing between 7:00AM & 8:00PM, are usually operated by DC-10 or MD-11 equipment. These are the largest aircraft regularly flying in and out of SAN. | *'''FedEx Express''': FedEx is the largest cargo carrier at SAN, with the A300, A310 making regular appearances.
