Federal Express Corporation (FedEx), one of the world’s largest express transportation companies, has opened a new World Service Center in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu. The strategic expansion strengthens the company’s network across the Visayas region and provides enhanced logistics support for local businesses engaged in international trade.
Situated within the Mactan-Cebu International Airport Cargo Complex at the Ground-Air Logistics Corporation (GALCO) Complex (2nd Floor, Unit 3), the new facility sits directly adjacent to the Bureau of Customs (BOC) Cebu office. This strategic location is designed to significantly streamline customs clearance processes for shippers.
To ensure seamless cross-border shipping, on-site clearance processors are available at the facility to assist customers with documentation requirements and customs inquiries. The World Service Center also functions as a convenient drop-off point, giving local businesses and individuals greater flexibility to drop off packages without needing to schedule a pickup.
“As Cebu continues to strengthen its position as a major hub for trade, manufacturing, and entrepreneurship, FedEx remains committed to investing in infrastructure that helps local businesses connect with global opportunities,” said Maribeth Espinosa, Managing Director of FedEx Philippines. “The Cebu World Service Center brings our services closer to customers, making international shipping more accessible, efficient, and convenient. From established exporters to growing small and medium enterprises, customers can rely on FedEx for the expertise, connectivity, and support they need to expand beyond borders and unlock new growth opportunities.”
The new service center complements FedEx’s robust flight schedules operating out of Cebu, which include six inbound flights weekly (Sunday through Friday) and five outbound flights weekly (Monday through Thursday and Saturday). Together, these combined air and ground capabilities provide businesses in Cebu and neighboring provinces with faster, seamless access to more than 220 countries and territories worldwide.
As regional trade and cross-border e-commerce accelerate, the opening of the Cebu World Service Center underscores FedEx’s ongoing commitment to building strong logistics infrastructure across key growth markets in the Philippines.
