Federal Express Corporation, commonly known as FedEx, has launched a new direct route connecting South Korea and Taiwan. This development aims to enhance the logistics network between the two countries and improve service capacity and reliability for export-import businesses in key trade routes focused on advanced industries.
The new route links FedEx's Incheon Gateway at Incheon International Airport with the Taipei Gateway at Taoyuan International Airport. It marks the first direct flight between South Korea and Taiwan, operating seven times a week to provide more flexible and reliable services. Additionally, customers in South Korea using FedEx International Priority Freight or FedEx International Priority Economy services will benefit from extended cut-off times for cargo pickup by up to 3.5 hours.
FedEx Korea Managing Director Park Won-bin stated, "This direct route is part of FedEx's ongoing customer-centric efforts to support active trade between Korea and Taiwan, centered on electronics, semiconductors, and K-culture-based e-commerce products." He emphasized that "transport capacity, flexibility, and reliability are crucial elements for securing supply chain resilience and competitiveness. Through this new route, we will actively support our customers in solidifying cross-border business growth opportunities within the Asia-Pacific region."
