FedEx begins direct China/Alaska service
FedEx Express said it launched its first direct express flight from Shenzhen in southern China to its hub in Anchorage, Alaska. FedEx officials said the move was driven by customer demand for air express service from one of the world's fastest-growing export markets.
FedEx will operate five flights per week from Shenzhen to Anchorage. The air express courier has served the China market since 1984.
