The Company's role as one of the world's leading drivers of international trade and growth will be a significant asset to Iraq and its business community as the country works towards rebuilding its infrastructure and economy. Access to the FedEx Express international network also helps facilitate the transportation of humanitarian aid into the country, including working with Water Missions International and International Aid.
"Iraq has the potential to be one of the fastest growing economies and will require integrated end-to-end transportation solutions," said Hamdi Osman, Regional Vice President, FedEx Middle East, Indian Sub-Continent and Africa. "There is no question that the country faces a tough business climate, but nothing that can't be overcome by ensuring connectivity with other markets around the globe."
FedEx Express services in Iraq will be operated by Global Service Participant (GSP) Falcon Express Inc. They have a great deal of experience operating in the Middle East
and currently provide delivery services for FedEx Express in Jordan, Lebanon, Qatar, Syria and Yemen. President of Falcon Express Inc., Mazen Mamlouk, said, "The relationship we have formed with FedEx Express to operate in Iraq will ensure that customers in the region will benefit from reliable, time-definite deliveries. We are pleased to contribute towards rebuilding the country."
