Federal Express Corporation has announced the launch of a new air route connecting Argentina, Chile, and Ecuador directly with Miami. This initiative aims to provide importers and exporters increased access to markets in the Americas and globally.
“This new route responds to the needs of our customers and reaffirms the commitment of FedEx to the region and its economic development,” stated Humberto Lira, Vice President of Operations for South America at FedEx. “It strengthens our capabilities, improves service for importers, and expands the value proposition of FedEx for SMEs and key industries in Argentina, offering them excellent service for their international shipments,” he added.
The route will be operated by a Boeing 767-300 with a capacity of 42,565 kilos per flight. It is designed to enhance export services to over 220 countries and territories within FedEx's extensive global network. The flights will have multiple weekly frequencies, starting from Miami International Airport in the United States, proceeding to Ezeiza International Airport in Buenos Aires, Argentina; then Santiago Airport in Chile; making a stop at Mariscal Sucre International Airport in Quito, Ecuador before returning to Miami.
