A Fedex Boeing 757 had to taxi for about 40 minutes after landing at Chicago O’Hare International Airport.
Wednesday, December 11 2024 the Fedex flight FX922 departed Milwaukee, WI to Chicago O’Hare International Airport, IL.
The Boeing 757-222SF took off from runway 25L at 18:49 CST and climbed to 10,000 ft for only 5 minutes as the pilots had to already start approach to Chicago.
The aircraft (registration N774FD) landed only 27 minutes later on runway 27R at the North side of ORD airport, far from the freight area.
The plane vacated the runway then taxied all the way through the airport to reach the Fedex shipping center which is at the South.
With a ground speed between 20 and 50 km/h, it took 40 minutes for the aircraft to reach its destination.
Runway 28C was active for landings at that time which is only 200 meters from the freight hub. But sometimes, operation operations and flight paths are not that simple.
