FEDEX LAUNCHES A DIRECT FLIGHT BETWEEN KOREA AND THE US
FedEx has launched a new dedicated direct flight connecting Korea and the US. Now, we will fly a wide-body MD-11 freighter five times per week point-to-point between Incheon International Airport and Anchorage, U.S. the flights will provide an additional capacity of 800,000 pounds per week.
As growth of the high-tech industries in Korea has resulted in an increased market demand for reliable and time-definite express transportation services, this new transpacific flight allows us to increase our capacity to ensure your goods reach the US more reliably. As our valued customers, you will enjoy greater flexibility and access to the U.S. through our enhanced global distribution network.
Korea is the 10th largest economy in the world and third largest economy in Asia. Korea's national output has expanded more than 600 times to US$787.5 billion since 1953, when it opened up its economy and engaged in more international and cross-border trade.
For Korea to sustain its economic growth and realize its vision to be the North Eastern Asia logistics hub, it is essential that it continues to establish strong links to the economies of the U.S. and the rest of the world. FedEx is working to make that vision possible by linking two of the world's largest economies with a new direct point-to-point connection. This is one of the many ways that we contribute to the local communities and facilitates global trade.
