FedEx opens new Shanghai hub
FedEx has officially opened its new FedEx Shanghai International Express and Cargo Hub at Shanghai Pudong International Airport.
The 134,000-square-metre facility is equipped with a dedicated Customer Care Centre as well as cold-chain facilities.
In a statement issued yesterday (8 January), David L Cunningham, Jr, president and chief executive officer of FedEx Express, said: “The Asia-Pacific region remains the growth driver of the world.”
FedEx currently has 66 weekly flights in and out of the Hub. With a fully automated sorting system, the new facility can process up to 36,000 packages and documents per hour. The facility can send real-time information, including flight and shipment status, to customers’ mobile devices so they can arrange pick-ups accordingly and reduce logistics cost. With dedicated areas for China Customs and China Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine (CIQ), the Hub simplifies operations and improves the Customs clearance process.
“The FedEx Shanghai Hub marks another milestone that helps support the economic growth of east China. By continuously enhancing our services and facilities, we can provide our customers an edge in the fast moving and ever-changing business environment,” said Karen M. Reddington, president, Asia Pacific, FedEx Express.
