FedEx introduced a new flight route to connect its Asia Pacific hub in Guangzhou, China, with Bangalore, India, and European destinations, including the UAE, Liege, and Paris. Operating five times a week, this route reduces transit times by a day. The change is timed with the busy holiday season, ensuring next-day delivery to South India for high-tech and automotive sectors reliant on efficient logistics.
India and China’s bilateral trade hit $118.4B in FY24, making logistics efficiency critical. By streamlining imports and exports, FedEx’s route strengthens links across Asia and Europe. Asia-to-Europe trade is dominated by high-value goods like electronics and machinery. These industries stand to gain from FedEx’s faster, more reliable services.
FedEx is advancing its digital tools, including the FedEx Import Tool and FedEx Ship Manager, to simplify shipping. Small businesses benefit from mobile solutions like FedEx Ship Manager Lite. Machine learning enhances delivery predictions, ensuring a smoother shipping experience for all.
FedEx's ongoing investments reflect its confidence in the APAC region’s potential. Kawal Preet, President of Asia Pacific, highlighted the company's dedication to creating a robust global network. The initiative positions FedEx as a critical partner in supporting cross-border trade and addressing the rising demand for quick, efficient delivery solutions.
