FedEx Express announces new 777F service to South Korea

FedEx Express (Memphis) today (March 28) announced the launch of a new dedicated Boeing 777F route connecting the 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.

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-year1. 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.

FedEx Express is the first U.S.-based, global, all-cargo airline to add the 777F to its fleet. As part of its commitment to environmental sustainability, FedEx has been expanding its fleet of 777F aircraft because of its fuel efficiency and lower carbon emissions.
