FedEx opens regional logistics hub in Qatar

Qatar Free Zones Authority and FedEx Logistics, a subsidiary of FedEx Corporation, have officially opened a new regional logistics facility at Ras Bufontas Free Zone in Doha, marking a significant step in Qatar’s emergence as a leading hub for global trade and supply chain operations.
The inauguration was attended by Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad, CEO of QFZ, and Patrick Moebel, president of FedEx Logistics, alongside senior executives from both parties. The opening of the center comes within the framework of the existing partnership between QFZ and FedEx Logistics and based on the agreement signed between them in 2024.
Operated by FedEx Logistics Qatar QFZ LLC, the 1,249-square-meter facility features integrated warehousing, storage, and office spaces. Plugged into the FedEx global network, it will serve as a key gateway for freight forwarding and scheduling, facilitating the movement of goods between major markets in Asia, Europe, and North America.
Situated next to Hamad International Airport and close to Hamad Port, the facility offers seamless access to air transportation and freight, as well as access to knowledgeable guidance on customs brokerage processes. It will provide end-to-end supply chain solutions for industries, including retail, automotive, and technology. The facility supports Qatar’s rapidly expanding logistics sector valued at $10.14 billion and projected to reach $13.49 billion by 2030, with the country ranked seventh globally for logistics competence in the Agility Emerging Markets Logistics Index 2024.
Sheikh Mohammed said: “We are proud to welcome FedEx Logistics to our thriving logistics ecosystem, home to four of the world’s top 10 logistics providers. The investment by FedEx underscores QFZ’s competitive advantages, world-class infrastructure, seamless logistics connectivity network, and strategic geographical location close to the most prominent global markets, enhancing the ability of investing companies to reach large segments of consumers globally. We are confident that this milestone will contribute to strengthening Qatar’s leadership as a global hub for innovation, logistics and international trade.”
Moebel added: “Establishing this facility in Qatar enables us to connect our Qatari and regional customers to major markets in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and North America with greater speed and efficiency. By integrating this location into the FedEx global network, we can deliver smarter, more reliable logistics solutions that help businesses grow and compete in today’s fast-moving global economy.”
