Qatar Free Zones Authority (QFZ) inks MoU with FedEx Logistics to establish a logistics facility at the Ras Bufontas Freezone, according to a press release. The facility looks to boost FedEx’ logistics operations and integrate into its global network, serving as a regional hub for cargo transits between Asia and Europe, FedEx said.

A strategic placement for FedEx: The new facility will leverage Ras Bufontas’ proximity to Hamad International Airport boosting access to air freight, quick customs procedures, and prospects for scaling businesses.

QFZ + Ras Bufontas are on a roll: QFZ kicked off 20 regional distribution hubs in Ras Bufontas earlier this week. The hubs are strategically located next to Hamad International Airport and Hamad Port, and feature high-speed roller shutters, charging points for electric cars, photovoltaic solar energy systems, and automatic docking assistance.
