FedEx Express shortens transit times from UK, Germany to Bulgaria

11 February 2010

Improves service portfolio in Eastern Europe

FedEx Express has shortened the transit times between Germany and Bulgaria, thereby improving its range of services in Eastern Europe. Customers from Germany and other European key markets can now send their shipments to the capital city Sofia within one business day. All other destinations in Bulgaria, which include economic centers Plovdiv and Varna, can now be reached within two business days. FedEx Express has therefore reduced its transit times to Bulgaria by one day.

FedEx has also reduced the transit time from Plovdiv to Germany, with shipments now being delivered within one business day. Transit time from Sofia to Germany remains unaffected for existing customers, providing continued access to FedEx next business day service. These improvements are part of the range of services offered by FedEx Express to customers, and will take place with immediate effect and without additional charges.

In order to make the service enhancements possible, FedEx has introduced a new flight, linking Sofia directly with Budapest four times a week. Hungary’s capital city is the connecting point to FedEx European hub at Roissy-Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris and, therefore, the Company’s worldwide network. Consequently, FedEx has also been able to reduce the transit time of documents and non-document shipments up to €22.0 from the US and key markets in Asia by one business day: These shipments now reach Sofia within two business days and the rest of Bulgaria within three business days.

Customers from UK can also now send their shipments to the capital city Sofia within one business day. FedEx has also reduced the transit time from Plovdiv to UK, with shipments now being delivered within one business day. Transit time from Sofia to UK remains unaffected for existing customers, providing continued access to FedEx next business day service.

This service enhancement follows FedEx’s recently announced enhancement of its service to and from Romania. As a result, customers are able to take advantage of the medium- and long-term growth opportunities in the newly industrialised Eastern European countries to an even greater extent.
