Karen Reddington, President of FedEx Express Europe says: “Online retail sales in APAC generated approximately $2.45tn in 2020 – and with research suggesting e-commerce sales in APAC are expected to almost double by 2025, it is crucial that European businesses can easily and reliably access the growth potential this region offers.”
FedEx is also adding trans-Pacific services by connecting Taipei, Taiwan and Hong Kong Anchorage and Indianapolis, returning via Anchorage to Taipei five days per week.
Capacity on FedEx’s intra-Asian network is increasing with Boeing 767s replacing 757s, almost doubling capacity to Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand and the Philippines.
