As part of the ongoing focus to strengthen its foothold in India whilst bolstering the trade lane between Asia and Europe, FedEx Express has enhanced its service offerings, reported The Economic Times.
FedEx has launched a new flight from Bengaluru establishing direct connections to Europe and the Middle East and the US. With this, Bengaluru becomes the third Indian gateway for FedEx joining Delhi and Mumbai and enhancing FedEx customers' access to the global marketplace.
It has also expanded the company's premium domestic express delivery service from 14 to 58 origin cities over a period of months from August 2010.
The 58 cities selected for its next business day service expansion will allow FedEx to offer a more defined and diversified product portfolio to and from major cities across India.
The company said that it would add satellite cities such as Secunderabad, Tirupur, Chinchwad, Pimpri, Thane and Navi Mumbai into the service points from this month.
With the share of Europe and America in India's exports at 23.8 percent and 16.5 percent, respectively, between 2008 and 2009, the new flight from Bengaluru opens up immense possibilities for South Indian companies.
