FedEx Express has announced the launch of a new dedicated 777F route connecting the FedEx World Hub in Memphis to South Korea with four nonstop flights a week.
The new route combines faster service with larger cargo capacity, enabling FedEx to deliver documents and FedEx International Priority packages from the US, Canada and selected markets in Latin America to Seoul, South Korea in two-to-three business days.
In 2010, US$38.8 billion of goods were exported from the US to South Korea; a significant 35 percent rise year-on-year. FedEx has strategically placed the 777F into service to South Korea in order to meet growing demands across global markets and offer practical solutions for increasing shipping needs.
FedEx Express is the first US-based, global, all-cargo airline to add the 777F to its fleet. FedEx has been expanding its fleet of 777F aircraft because of its fuel efficiency and lower carbon emissions.
In Asia Pacific, FedEx operates 777F with connections direct to the Memphis super hub from Hong Kong, Singapore via Osaka, Shanghai and Shenzhen. In addition, a 777F was also deployed to connect Hong Kong to its Europe hub in Paris last December.
