FedEx expands dangerous goods road transport across GCC

FedEx has expanded its Middle East road transportation capabilities to include the transport of eligible dangerous goods across five Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) markets: the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman.

Available through FedEx Regional Economy and Regional Economy Freight services, the expansion targets industries with complex supply chain requirements, such as healthcare, life sciences, energy, petrochemicals, high technology, and personal care. Eligible commodities include chemicals, lithium batteries, laboratory reagents, diagnostic samples, and dry ice, subject to regulatory requirements.

The service features day-definite delivery, customs-cleared movements, and end-to-end shipment visibility via GPS tracking and a dedicated control tower. The road network is integrated with FedEx’s regional hub at Dubai World Central (DWC) airport, connecting air and road transport across the Middle East, Indian Subcontinent, and Africa.
