FedEx resumes RI flights

SINGAPORE (Reuters): Federal Express Corp (FedEx) has resumed its scheduled flights to and from Jakarta, with five times weekly service, the company said in a statement late yesterday.

The U.S.-based transport company had evacuated staff from Indonesia to Singapore when unrest hit the former last month, but had continued to accept pick-ups and deliveries of packages and documents for Indonesia on a partial basis.

"We remain optimistic about the Indonesian market in the long- term, and we will continue to expand operations and services in Indonesia on behalf of the many Indonesian importers and exporters", the statement quoted David Cunningham, vice president for FedEx's South Pacific region, as saying.
