FedEx adds five weekly flights to strengthen Asia-Europe air network

Salil Chari, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Customer Experience for FedEx Asia Pacific, said, "The Asia-Europe route is currently one of the fastest-growing trade routes. In a survey of about 4,000 customers in Asia this year, more than 20% responded that they plan to shift their trade focus to Europe within the next 12 months."

He added, "FedEx is quickly responding to changing trade environments and is building a new network blueprint for the next stage of growth in the Asian trade ecosystem. Through strengthened connectivity between Asia-Pacific and Europe, we will help customers respond quickly to market changes, secure new customer bases, and enhance global competitiveness."

FedEx now operates 26 weekly flights connecting Asia-Pacific and Europe, enabling express deliveries to major European cities in as little as 48 hours. The company has also recently enhanced connections from northern Vietnam to Europe, further expanding its network for import and export businesses in Asia.

Additionally, FedEx is making active use of its new global transshipment hub in Istanbul, alongside hubs in Paris, Cologne, and Liège, to respond flexibly to seasonal demand changes, shorten delivery times, and improve supply chain resilience. These efforts reflect FedEx’s long-term commitment to supporting global commerce and the success of businesses worldwide.
