San Diego International Airport: Difference between revisions

*'''Airborne Express/DHL Cargo''': The 767-200s and 767-300s belonging to Airborne Express parked on the northside of the field has been nicknamed "the sleeping giant" by SAN spotters because they hardly ever seem to move.  Many of the 767-200s on this flight are painted in full DHL colors, whereas the 767-300s are in ABX colors.  It typically arrives at approximately 7:00AM and departs to Phoenix, Arizona between 5:50PM and 7:00PM.  

*'''FedEx Express''': FedEx is the largest cargo carrier at SAN, with the longtime regular A300 and MD-10 flights now being supplemented by appearances from the 757 and 767. Three flights usually arrive in the very early morning, before 6:00AM, and normally have all departed by 8:00AM. A second set of two flights typically arrives between 4:00PM and 6:30PM.  These usually depart again between 7:00PM and 8:30PM.  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 MD-10 equipment. MD-11's are still somewhat rare, but made regular appearances during the 2013 Christmas season.
