FedEx has announced an increase in the frequency of its international cargo flights from Qingdao to the United States. The company also inaugurated the Qingdao International Gateway Operations Center, aiming to enhance its logistics network in China with efficient and flexible services.
The flight route begins at Qingdao Jiaodong International Airport, stops in Osaka, Japan, and then heads to Memphis, Tennessee. Since May this year, the route has been operating once a week on a trial basis. Following the upgrade, it will operate five times a week from Monday to Friday using B777 freighters. This increase in flights reduces transportation time for packages and heavy shipments from Qingdao and Shandong region to North America by one day. Some shipments can now arrive in the U.S. as early as the next day.
With this new service integrated into FedEx's existing ground transportation network in Shandong province, customers in cities like Qingdao, Yantai, Weihai, Jinan, Zibo, and Weifang can benefit from same-day export services. This allows clients to arrange exports flexibly while expanding their global business through FedEx's efficient services.
