FedEx Express, a subsidiary of FedEx Corp. and the world’s largest express transportation company, has added a new dedicated flight four times per week between Sydney, Australia and Singapore.

The new flight is designed to meet customer demand for increased capacity, particularly for heavyweight shipments. Customers in Singapore and Australia also now have an increased capacity and reliability to transport retail freight, healthcare (cold chain), perishables, and lithium ion battery shipments between both markets. Additionally, customers in Sydney1 , Australia now enjoy a three-hour cut-off time improvement for outbound shipments to Singapore2 and Malaysia3 from Tuesday to Friday.

The new flight provides additional offerings of FedEx International Priority Freight and International Economy Freight services for import shipments into Australia originating from Singapore, Southern China, Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Vietnam. It will also allow customers to leverage the FedEx International Priority Direct Distribution service for import shipments into Australia originating from Vietnam and Indonesia.

To meet the dynamic needs of its customers, FedEx continually adjusts its network and routings in Asia Pacific. In July, FedEx announced a new route connecting Hanoi, Vietnam and the FedEx APAC Hub in Guangzhou, China. In January, FedEx officially opened its Shanghai International Express and Cargo Hub, the second international hub in China.
