Press Releases
Jakarta, 15 September 1999 - P.T. Repex Perdana International,
Federal Express (FedEx) sole licensee in Indonesia, today announced
the opening of its new Gateway Center at Soekarno-Hatta International
Airport.
Designed to support faster processing of inbound and outbound
shipments, the Gateway Center has a floor area of 1,411 square meters
and is intended to facilitate the use of efficient clearance processes
and sophisticated information technology.
David L. Cunningham, FedEx Regional Vice President, South Pacific,
said, "This new gateway center enables FedEx, through PT Repex Perdana
International - its licensee in Indonesia, to provide an even more
efficient service to Indonesian customers. This center is a manifestation
of our confidence in this market as we continue to find ways to
elevate our services to a higher level of sophistication and service
reliability."
The Gateway Center is also designed to support Customs officials
with the pre-clearance process by using an Electronic Data Interface
(EDI) system. Customs officials, with their own office at the Gateway
Center, will receive the manifest information of all the shipments
and be able to start processing clearance before the FedEx Airbus
310 actually lands in Jakarta each business day. This EDI system
greatly enhances customs processing time.
With the opening of the Gateway Center, PT Repex Perdana International
becomes the only company in Indonesia to own a dedicated shipment
processing and warehouse facility at Soekarno-Hatta International
Airport.
Harsha E. Joesoef, President Director of PT Repex Perdana International,
said "The Gateway Center is dedicated exclusively to handling FedEx
customers' inbound and outbound shipments. This enables FedEx to
retain custodial control of customers' shipments throughout the
entire process resulting in enhanced speed and reliability."
Through its licensee, FedEx has more than 360 people supporting
its operations in Jakarta and five other branches across Indonesia.
The company serves all major commercial centers in Indonesia. Customers
can track shipments on the FedEx website at http://www.fedex.com
or by dialing FedEx's customer service department at (021) 522-4636
in Jakarta.
