Jakarta, Indonesia, 16 April 2025 — Federal Express Corporation, one of the world’s largest express transportation companies, has further enhanced service between Southeast Asia and the United States with the launch of its first direct flight from Singapore to Anchorage. This new route makes FedEx the only logistics provider offering a direct, non-stop connection from Singapore to the continental U.S. Key industries, including aerospace, healthcare, industrial, high-tech and semiconducting materials will benefit from enhanced supply chain efficiency and improved connectivity to major U.S. markets, supporting businesses in Southeast Asia, especially in fast-growing economies like Indonesia.
Operating six times a week with a dedicated Boeing 777 freighter, the flight departs from the FedEx South Pacific Regional Hub at Changi Airport in Singapore. With this enhanced connectivity, shipments from Indonesia will be consolidated in Jakarta before being transported to Singapore for the direct flight to Anchorage, ensuring a more seamless and efficient journey to the U.S. There is also a direct return flight from Anchorage to Singapore operating once a week, with plans to expand to five flights per week in the summer to support the seamless flow of goods in both directions. Businesses shipping from across this dynamic region will enjoy enhanced connectivity when importing and exporting to the U.S.
Trade between Southeast Asia and the U.S. remains an important corridor driven by e-commerce, high-tech electronics and manufactured goods. As a major manufacturing hub in Southeast Asia, Indonesia is set to benefit from this new flight, particularly in main commodities including electrical machinery and equipment, clothing, footwear, animal and vegetable oils, and rubber, with the U.S. remaining one of its top trading partners.
“The launch of this direct flight to the U.S. will significantly strengthen Indonesia’s access to the U.S. market, providing local businesses with greater reliability and faster connections to their customers, said Garrick Thompson, Managing Director of FedEx Indonesia. “With a more direct route, we are enabling more reliable and efficient deliveries - an essential advantage for businesses operating in a fast-paced global economy. As supply chains continue to evolve, FedEx remains committed to providing smarter, more efficient logistics solutions that help Indonesian businesses seize global opportunities with greater confidence.”
