FedEx launches its first direct cargo flight from Singapore to the U.S

Federal Express Corporation has launched its first direct all-cargo flight from Singapore to Anchorage, strengthening the trade corridor between Southeast Asia and the United States. This new service positions FedEx as the only logistics provider with a non-stop connection from Singapore to the continental U.S., benefiting industries such as aerospace, healthcare, industrial, high-tech, and semiconductor materials.

Operating six times a week, the flight departs from FedEx's South Pacific Regional Hub at Changi Airport using a Boeing 777 freighter. A return flight from Anchorage to Singapore occurs once weekly, with an expansion plan to five flights per week during the summer to support a seamless flow of goods. The direct flight enhances transit times, allowing shipments collected in Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand on Saturday to reach the U.S. by Monday, improving connectivity for businesses in the region.

This development strengthens Singapore's status as a key logistics and air cargo hub for Southeast Asia. The service supports the trade flow between the region and the U.S., driven by e-commerce, high-tech electronics, and manufactured goods, reinforcing FedEx's role in global supply chains.
