FedEx Express is further enhancing its intercontinental services between Vietnam and other markets in Asia, Middle East, Africa, and Europe with the introduction of a new flight offering faster transit. 

FedEx Express will use a dedicated B767 freighter flying four evenings a week from Ho Chi Minh City to connect Asia and Europe through the FedEx Asia Pacific Hub in Guangzhou, China. 

Exporters shipping from southern Vietnam will benefit from faster transit for shipments to major Asian markets in just one business day, and two business days to Europe.

Many Vietnamese express firms told Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper that the delivery time is a weapon for competition.

As Vietnam does not yet have a national cargo airline, it has to depend on foreign firms, which may pose challenges in prices and delivery time.

The new air route will help shorten the cargo delivery time between continents and boost the local logistics market, especially ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday, or Tet, due in February 2024.

FedEx Express, which is one of the world’s largest express transportation companies, currently provides services to 220 countries and territories.

FedEx has been supporting cross-border trade to and from Vietnam since it established operations in the country in 1994. 

The company is currently operating five flights departing from Ho Chi Minh City for other countries in Asia, Europe, and the U.S..

With the new flight, local businesses serving international customers will gain a competitive edge with expedited delivery time.
