Federal Express Corporation, known globally as FedEx, has announced the launch of its first direct flight connecting Taiwan and South Korea. This development is expected to enhance service and capacity between these two markets, providing a more efficient operational experience for importers and exporters. The move is particularly significant for trade in high-tech industries.

The newly introduced direct flight will operate daily, linking Taiwan via the FedEx Transshipment Center at Taoyuan International Airport with South Korea through the FedEx Incheon Gateway at Incheon International Airport. The service aims to boost Taiwan’s import and export activities by offering greater flexibility and reliability in logistics transportation. It also seeks to reinforce Taiwan’s role in global trade.

Paul Sousa, managing director of FedEx Taiwan, commented on the new initiative: “This inaugural direct flight between Taiwan and South Korea is a significant milestone in our operations and underscores our commitment to strengthening connections within the Asia-Pacific region.” He added that this move optimizes their air network, enhancing logistics services' capacity and reliability while empowering Taiwanese businesses to access new markets.

Recent years have seen substantial growth in trade between Taiwan and South Korea, primarily driven by advancements in technology and electronics. According to data from Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs, South Korea has emerged as one of Taiwan’s major trading partners. High-tech products such as semiconductors are central to these exports. Data from January 2025 indicates that South Korea's share of semiconductor exports to Taiwan rose significantly over recent years.

The introduction of this new flight forms part of FedEx's broader strategy to strengthen its global air network. Past initiatives include a new flight introduced in December 2024 that connected Asia Pacific with India and Europe, as well as an April 2025 launch connecting Singapore directly with Anchorage in the U.S., thus improving connectivity between Southeast Asia and major U.S. markets.
