FedEx Express is further enhancing its services between Vietnam and Singapore as well as the wider Asia, Middle East, Africa (AMEA) and Europe market, with the introduction of a new flight offering expedited delivery times.
The new service will use a dedicated B767 freighter starting October 31 to fly four times a week in the evenings from Ho Chi Minh City to Asia and Europe through the FedEx hub in Guangzhou, China.
Exporters shipping from Southern Vietnam will benefit from faster transit times for shipments to Singapore and major Asian markets in just one business day, and two business days to Europe.
These new flights offer additional capacity on top of the current five flights to Asia, Europe, and the US. These include four daily morning services through the FedEx hub in Singapore and the existing evening flight through the Guangzhou hub.
FedEx has been supporting cross-border trade to and from Vietnam since it established operations in the country in 1994.
