 Asia Pacific Exporters now have greater reach to Europe and North America

Aisa Pacific Exporters adds four new intercontinental flights from Asia Pacific to Europe and North America – one of the largest network expansions at FedEx in this region. 42 new flights in and out of APAC per week with the capacity to carry almost 1,400 tons (1,390,000 kgs).

The benefits to importers and exporters are substantial like enhanced connectivity, expanded capacity and more flexibility means greater reach for APAC businesses across trans-Pacific, intra-Asia, and Europe.

The explosion of e-commerce post-pandemic looks set to continue. In 2020 alone, online retail sales in APAC generated approximately US$2.45 trillion, accounting for more than 60 percent of global e-commerce sales. Over half of online shoppers in APAC made cross-border purchases.
