The company has launched new flights in Central and South America, connecting key markets with Miami. This offers customers increased shipping capabilities and enhanced connectivity, making it easier to import and export goods into the United States and other global destinations.
MIAMI, Nov. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Federal Express Corporation, the world’s largest express transportation company, continues to strengthen its commitment to Latin America’s economic growth and connectivity. The company is strengthening its air network with two new flights linking important markets in South and Central America with Miami, offering increased capabilities and better connectivity for its customers across the region.
In Central America, a FedEx Boeing 757 aircraft provides direct connectivity from La Aurora airport in Guatemala and Ramon Villeda Morales International Airport in San Pedro Sula, Honduras with Miami.
“The launch of these new routes marks a significant milestone in the history and growth strategy of FedEx across the region,” said Luiz R.
