Zhong Guoyi, Vice President of International Express Business at Harbin Fedex Express and FedEx Europe and America Direct to FedEx China, said, "The deployment of the 777 cargo plane in Shenzhen reflects our commitment to providing convenient, efficient, and efficient transportation services for customers in southern China. We now offer direct to FedEx's Super Transfer Center route located in Memphis, Tennessee, USA. The direct to Super Transfer Center route provides greater convenience for our customers' goods traveling to and from the United States, and also helps promote international trade exchanges throughout southern China."
Due to its rapid international trade shows, Shenzhen has always been a port city for FedEx in the southern region. According to statistics from Shenzhen Customs, the total import and export value of Shenzhen in September 2010 was 33.63 billion US dollars, setting a new historical high, an increase of 29.7% compared to the same period last year, which is 5 percentage points higher than the national import and export growth rate. In addition, the import and export scale of Guangdong Province has also steadily increased. According to data from the website of the Ministry of Commerce, the total import and export value of Guangdong Province in September 2010 was 73.9 billion US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 22%, once again breaking the record for Guangdong's monthly import and export value.
FedEx has always provided connectivity and delivery services to Chinese customers, and the deployment of the second 777 freighter in China also reflects the company's consistent commitment to Chinese consumers. Due to the larger cargo capacity of the 777 freighter, FedEx has strategically deployed a second 777 freighter in Shenzhen to serve the growing South China market and provide practical solutions to the growing freight demand in the region.
FedEx is committed to promoting the development of the express logistics industry, continuously investing and utilizing technology for innovation and growth. As a commitment to sustainable environmental development, FedEx continues to increase the use of 777 freighters with higher fuel efficiency and lower emissions.
