Federal Express Corp. (FedEx) has expanded its intra-Asia air network with two new flight routes connecting South Korea, Vietnam, China, and Taiwan.
The company introduced a weekly flight operating every Monday, connecting Incheon International Airport in South Korea with Noi Bai International Airport in Hanoi, Vietnam before continuing to the FedEx Asia Pacific hub in Guangzhou, China.
This new route significantly enhances logistics efficiency by reducing transit times by one day for shipments from Northern Vietnam to Asia and Europe across all FedEx services, the express transportation company said in a statement.
The improved reliability and increased capacity will benefit customers tapping the Asia and Europe markets, supporting their growing trade needs, it added.
A flight connecting South Korea’s Incheon International Airport with Taiwan’s Taoyuan International Airport, operating seven times a week, was also launched.
FedEx said this route enhances connectivity in a critical trade lane for high-tech industries and supports the region’s thriving e-commerce sector.
With faster direct connections and improved supply chain efficiency, FedEx said it is empowering businesses like Olive Young, a prominent K-beauty retailer, to expand their global footprint and drive growth through enhanced cross-border logistics capabilities.
“Asia’s trade landscape is evolving rapidly,” said Kawal Preet, president of FedEx Asia Pacific.
“We’re responding by strategically investing in our network to create stronger connections for businesses within the region and unlocking new pathways for growth, driven by the need to adapt to diversifying supply chains, rising regional economies, and an e-commerce landscape being reset by changing customer behaviors and market dynamics,” Preet added.

FedEx said the new routes enhance supply chain efficiency for manufacturers and exporters across major trade lanes, including intra-Asia, Asia-Europe, and Trans-Pacific.
This development is particularly timely as the Asia-Pacific air cargo market is experiencing strong growth momentum driven by peak holiday season demand and shifting trade flows, it added.
With high-value technology exports from Southeast Asia on the rise, the region’s trade dynamics are evolving rapidly. Notably, intra-Asia trade accounted for nearly 60% of Asia’s total exports, and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations has emerged as China’s largest trading partner, with bilateral trade reaching US$962.98 billion in 2024.
As the region’s economic integration deepens, high growth trade routes are connecting technology hubs, manufacturing centers, and emerging markets. These shifts underscore the critical need for time-definite and day-definite, reliable logistics infrastructure to support Asia’s expanding trade ecosystem.
In addition to its air network, FedEx said it continues to invest in innovative digital solutions and customs expertise to navigate shifting trade dynamics and simplify cross-border commerce. These investments reinforce the company’s commitment to service excellence while enabling Asian businesses economic growth.
