This week, amid the tariff rumpus, freight forwarding giant FedEx will inaugurate its direct flight from Singapore to the US mainland with a Boeing 777 freighter, the only logistics company so far to offer such a connection.
The new service strengthens the Republic’s position as a strategic logistics hub and enhances the region’s connectivity on the transpacific trade route. FedEx says shipments from across South-east Asia can now be consolidated in Singapore before making their journey to the US, streamlining international logistics.
