The agreement with NAS will further enhance FedEx's services in Kuwait.

Since the NAS premises and FedEx operations are both close to the airport, shipments will be processed more quickly and efficiently. As a result, FedEx customers will receive their packages in the shortest time possible.

Tayssir Awada, Managing Director, FedEx Express Middle East, Operations said, "Our customers value speed of delivery and reliability. Our arrangement with NAS will help us to make our clearance processes even more efficient, enabling us to continue to exceed our customers' expectations."

"We are delighted to be associated with such a high caliber, global name as FedEx, the world leader in the transportation business," said Bara'a Al-Roumi, Managing Director of National Aviation Services. "We look forward to this collaboration providing efficient and essential support to Kuwait's business community."

The move is the latest in a series of initiatives to further improve services to FedEx customers in Kuwait. Recently, FedEx expanded its services in Kuwait with the opening of eleven FedEx Authorized Ship Centers (FASCs) and is planning to add more in the near future. The centers offer convenient, local access to the FedEx network, complementing the service available from the FedEx Service Center in Kuwait City.
