FedEx Express Launches 777F to South Korea
MEMPHIS, Tenn., March 28, 2011— Today FedEx Express, a subsidiary of FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX), announces the launch of a new dedicated 777F route connecting FedEx World Hub in Memphis, Tennessee to South Korea with four nonstop flights a week. Because the new route combines faster service with larger cargo capacity, FedEx can now deliver documents and packages from the U.S., Canada and select markets in Latin America to Seoul, South Korea in two to three business days.
- 1 The average fleet age is based on our own calculations and may differ from other figures. Only supported aircraft types that are active with this airline are included in the calculations.
- U.A.E.-based Etihad Airways is further reducing its freighter fleet, as the 777F (39682) it had operated on behalf of FedEx Express in December 2020 is being acquired by the integrator, which now has forty-six 777Fs FAT 005862.
- Major world markets are suddenly closer — now that FedEx Express flies direct via a fleet of Boeing 777 Freighters. The air freighter’s extra-long flight range means greater access to your global trade partners, reducing transit times by as much as a full day.
- In 2006, FedEx placed what is still the largest 777F order to date, soon after canceling their A380F order due to the Airbus program’s chronic delays. Following FedEx’s tradition of naming each of their planes after the child of a FedEx employee, the new 777, registered N850FD, has been dubbed “Saad.” Saad is the only son of Kashif Zia.
FedEx now also offers the fastest delivery of priority freight to Seoul from the U.S., Canada and select markets in Latin America.
In 2010, US$38.8 billion of goods were exported from the U.S. to South Korea, a significant 35% rise year–on-year . FedEx has strategically placed the 777F into service to South Korea in order to meet growing demands across global markets and offer practical solutions for increased shipping needs.
“Korea is the seventh-largest trading partner of the U.S. in terms of two-way trade which is expected to increase after final approval of the U.S. – Korea Free Trade Agreement,” said Michael L. Ducker, executive vice president and chief operating officer, FedEx Express. “Flying direct to South Korea supports export trade from the U.S., Canada and select markets in Latin America and helps put our customers’ shipments from these locations into the South Korean market much faster.”
FedEx is a strong supporter of efforts to lower tariffs and barriers to international trade. With approval of the pending U.S. – Korea Free Trade Agreement (KORUS), the demand for goods and services is expected to rise between the U.S. and South Korea. According to the U.S. International Trade Commission, U.S. merchandise exports to Korea would likely increase by nearly $11 billion a year.
