FedEx “enabling customers to access key markets like Australia faster”
Federal Express Corporation (FedEx) has enhanced its intra-Asia network with a new dedicated, non-stop freighter service between its Asia-Pacific hub in Guangzhou, China, and Sydney, Australia, strengthening inbound trade connectivity into Australia from key markets across Asia.
Operating five times weekly with Boeing 777 freighter aircrafts, the new routing is expected to deliver up to one day faster transit times for select shipments1 originating from major Asian markets to reach Australia in as little as two business days. These markets include Southern Mainland China, Hong Kong SAR, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand.
Unlocking Faster Growth for Asian and Australian Businesses
Designed to support Asian exporters, customers from Southeast Asia, North Asia, and Greater China benefit from more direct and reliable access into Australia, supporting industries reliant on time-sensitive and high-value shipments. The new connection enables businesses across the region to:
• Improve supply chain efficiency through improved speed-to-market and reduced inventory holding costs.
• Increase capacity for heavy-weight freight and high-value goods.
• Support B2B growth in time-sensitive and high-value sectors.
