FedEx Express today announced the launch of a new flight offering the first overnight express link between India and China. The flight is part of a new eastbound around the world route–connecting Europe, India, China and Japan with the FedEx U.S. hub in Memphis–that will provide unprecedented access to and from the world’s largest markets. Using a wide-bodied MD-11 freighter, FedEx will double its current capacity between Europe and Asia with the addition of 850,000 pounds per week. “This new route will relieve mounting capacity constraints for international express service across Europe to Asia, especially the two powerhouse economies of India and China,” said Michael L. Ducker, executive vice president-international, FedEx Express. “Furthermore, it is another ‘FedEx first’ as we provide the industry’s first overnight express link between India and China. Our service from Delhi to Shanghai will benefit our customers, whose business is fueling this USD14 billion trade route.”
