With more than 14,000 employees, FedEx currently serves more than 30 countries and territories in the Asia Pacific market through its innovative FedEx Asia One network, launched in 1995. This launch included trans-Pacific flights and the creation of an Asia Pacific hub in Subic Bay, which provided overnight intra-Asian delivery among major Asian business centers.

In mainland China, FedEx Express service has led the industry, building solutions and meeting business needs for international customers. In 1996, FedEx became the sole U.S.-based express transportation company with aviation rights to China. In 2004, FedEx received 12 additional rights from the U.S. Department of Transportation to fly cargo aircraft to and from China. FedEx continues to increase flights to China, providing access to more cities across the country and throughout the Asia Pacific region than any other global express provider.

In 2007, FedEx introduced domestic express service within China to more than 19 cities. By 2008, this next-day delivery service has expanded to more than 40 cities, with second-day delivery service reaching customers in more than 200 cities throughout the country. In the first half of 2008, FedEx Office opened 12 new centers in China, with six in Beijing, five in Shanghai and one in southern China.

In late 2008, a new FedEx Express Asia Pacific hub will open in Guangzhou, China. The new hub will feature state-of-the-art technology to support real-time package tracking and an innovative, satellite-based dispatch system.

In addition to its expanding business in the region, FedEx is committed to utilizing its logistics expertise to help improve the quality of life for its customers and employees. In fact, FedEx has transported medical supplies to fight Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and provided the first private airlift of relief supplies to China following the massive earthquake in Sichuan Province in May 2008.
