This reaffirms its market leader position in the region.
The survey lists the top 200 multinationals operating in Asia along with Asia-headquartered corporations, based on five attributes: company reputation, quality of products and services, management’s long-term vision, innovation, and financial soundness.

* Since January, FedEx began its Boeing 777 Freighter (777F) service on routes out of Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore and Osaka, bringing about significant advantages in the just-in-time supply chain, such as later cut-off times in some cities. No other company in the industry flies these planes non-stop between Asia and the U.S.
* In April, FedEx launched an overnight service from Hong Kong to its European hub in Paris, France.
* In October, FedEx enhanced its connectivity between China and the U.S. with the launch of two new flight services.
