FedEx starts first express China to Europe flight
FedEx Express, subsidiary of FedEx Corp., has launched its first direct flight from mainland China to Europe.
The service flies daily from Shanghai to Frankfurt using a MD-11 freighter. The flight is part of a new westbound around-the-world service originating and terminating in Memphis.
Last week, the U.S. Department of Transportation awarded FedEx three additional China flights, bringing its total number of weekly flights to 26 as of March 26.
