DHL Philippines considering online payment service to clients

Posted by | Mar 29, 2005 | |

Courier company DHL Express (Philippines) Corp. is considering offering an online payment service to local customers.

The service is seen to complete the end-to-end e-commerce offer of a company that will address a market that is still slow in using electronic commerce services. The online payment service is being developed in conjunction with the redesign of the website.

The local arm of DHL is currently upgrading its website, which is part of the “rebranding exercise” all DHL operations worldwide are going through as a result of the acquisition of Deutsche Post World Net of DHL International in December 2002.

Posted by | Mar 4, 2005 | |

FedEx has alloted USD450 million to relocate its hub in Asia by 2007 to the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (DMIA) from its present site at the Subic Bay International Airport (SBIA).

FedEx has a 12-year lease contract with the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA). Though its contract has yet to expire in 2007, the firm needs to start constructing its new hub in Clark this year to ensure smooth transition of its cargo operations.

Adelberto Yap, president and chief-executive-officer of Clark International Airport Corp. (CIAC), said FedEx has yet to maintain Subic for two years after 2007 for scaling down operations.

FedEx downplays threat to Philippine hub

Posted by | Oct 25, 2004 | |

FedEx last week said it was untroubled about the status of its Asia hub following statements from the Philippines government concerning the renegotiation of its air services agreement with the US. The Philippine government is said to believe the existing arrangements, which give almost complete freedom for US cargo airlines to operate services through some airports in the country, are unfair to Philippine airlines. A FedEx spokeswoman told IFW: “We don’t expect any changes. That would be a big step back in time. The reason we have a hub at Subic Bay is because we have open skies there. We have an agreement to operate there until 2010 and the freedom to operate air services there is a part of that.” Talks this summer to further expand air services between the two countries broke down when Philippine representatives refused US requests to allow “seventh freedom” flights for US cargo carriers.
