Asia Exporters Are Tapping Opportunities In The US And Europe
An historic network expansion from Asia Pacific to Europe and trans-Pacific is helping the world move forward – and provides a critical boost for Asia Pacific businesses.
Things are looking up - literally – for our customers and exporters across Asia Pacific. We’ve added 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 capacity to carry almost 1,400 tons (1,390,000 kgs).
Benefits to importers and exporters are substantial.
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% of global e-commerce sales. Over half of online shoppers in APAC made cross-border purchases. Our improved intercontinental network reinforces our commitment to our APAC customers and supports their plans for business growth. So where and how frequently are the increased flights operating?
