Press Releases
Hong Kong, April 24, 1996 -- Federal Express Corporation (FedEx)
announces the appointment of Eddy Chan as managing director, Taiwan,
effective today. He succeeds Tim Ichinose who is transferring to FedEx in
the Pittsburgh area.
In his new position, Chan will be responsible for FedEx's overall
operations in Taiwan. An 11-year veteran of FedEx, he most recently
served as business general manager for Greater China, overseeing
corporate business development in Taiwan, Hong Kong, China and
Macau. Chan is a 1985 graduate of Hong Kong University and is proficient
in Mandarin, Cantonese and English.
Taiwan is playing a more significant role for ever-increasing trade within
Asia and between Asia and other global markets, said Chan. This is a
very exciting time for me to ensure FedEx continues in its leadership role
in such a dynamic and challenging market.
FedEx serves 210 countries, providing fast and reliable package delivery for
approximately 2.5 million items each working day. The company has over
119,000 employees, more than 530 aircraft, 37,000 vehicles and nearly
300,000 Powership® and FedEx ShipTM automated systems in its integrated
global network. It handles more than 380,000 calls and 35.5 million
electronic transmissions daily. Federal Express reported revenues of
US$9.4 billion for its 1995 fiscal year.
FedEx currently services the Asia Pacific market with nearly 3,000
employees in 30 countries and territories. The company provides the
most extensive trans-Pacific air lift of any major competitor, with wide-
bodied MD-11, DC-10 and A310 aircraft flying daily, linking its FedEx AsiaOne
network for overnight delivery to major commercial and financial centers
throughout Asia. It is the only express transportation carrier in the world
using its own aircraft and crews to provide an integrated service into and
out of the People's Republic of China.
