FedEx launches industry’s first direct connection between mainland China and Europe

Posted by | Mar 3, 2005 | |

FedEx Express has launched the express air cargo industry’s first direct flight from mainland China to Europe. The flights, which will provide daily service from Shanghai, China to Frankfurt, provide numerous benefits for FedEx customers worldwide. “Again, FedEx leads the express industry in connecting our global customers with the world’s fastest growing market, China. The new flights emphasize the importance of China on the world business stage and the flourishing trade and political ties between China and the European nations,” said Michael L. Ducker, executive vice president-international, FedEx Express. “This past year, Europe became China’s number-one trading partner, and this new flight strengthens our leadership in facilitating trade between Asia, Europe and North America. These trade benefits are the direct result of the liberalization of China’s aviation market and support our belief that the elimination of trade barriers encourages global economic growth.”

FedEx, Datian split in China denied

Posted by | Dec 29, 2004 | |

FedEx Express and Tianjin Datian W Group have denied rumours that the two parties will soon suspend their co-operation in China’s international fast delivery market. Foreign express firms may not necessarily seek fully-owned subsidiaries right after the nation opens its express market, according to experts. “So far we are not prepared to make any changes in our business modes in China,” FedEx said in a media statement last week. FedEx, the world’s largest express transportation carrier, is rumoured to be on the brink of seeking a controlling stake in the joint venture with its Chinese partner Datian Group. That indicates FedEx will probably end its co-operation with Datian and later run express services through its subsidiaries as China fully opens its express market in the next year.

FedEx doubles flights to China

Posted by | Oct 18, 2004 | |

FedEx Express was today awarded 12 additional weekly flights to China by the US Department of Transportation, bringing its total to 23. The additional authority will allow FedEx Express to operate more all-cargo flights to and from China than any other US airline. FedEx Express will use six of its awarded frequencies to provide a new westbound round-the-world service connecting the US to Shanghai with stops in Europe and other points in Asia using an MD-11 freighter. The other six frequencies, available in March 2005, will be used to establish an eastbound round-the-world service connecting the US, Europe, Japan and India to Shanghai, Shenzhen, and other points in Asia using an MD-11 aircraft. Looking ahead to 2006, FedEx has asked the DOT for six additional weekly flights (bringing the total of weekly flight to 29) to include Guangzhou into its global and regional express networks. Currently, FedEx Express operates 11 weekly flights to China, serving Shanghai, Beijing and Shenzhen.
