FedEx Ends National Deliveries as Part of Restructuring in Brazil
The cessation of domestic transportation is part of a strategic realignment by FedEx in the Brazilian market.
The decision alters the company’s presence in the internal delivery segment, which is no longer an operational priority.
The focus is now on integrating Brazil into the company’s global international transportation network.
Operations in Brazil Are Limited to International Transportation and Supply Chain

With the change, the company’s operations in the country will focus on international air and road transportation.
The supply chain services will remain active, including logistical solutions and POS (credit card machines).
These areas remain strategic for connecting customers in Brazil with global markets.
Domestic Collections Continue Until February 6, 2026
The cessation of national transportation will occur gradually, with a transition period of approximately 30 days.
Domestic collections will remain active until February 6, 2026, allowing for the completion of already contracted deliveries.
During this period, deliveries will continue to be made within the agreed timelines.
Company Maintains Support and Service During Transition Period
Throughout the transition, FedEx states that it will continue to offer operational support and customer service.
Service delivery will remain focused on fulfilling the already established contractual obligations.
The measure aims to ensure continuity and predictability during the phase-out of domestic service.
Demobilization of National Operations Advances Starting in June
The demobilization process is expected to advance starting in June.
This phase includes the closure of operational structures connected to domestic transportation and the reorganization of two logistical assets used in these activities.
The change consolidates the company’s definitive exit from the national delivery segment.
Change Reinforces FedEx’s Focus on Global Solutions in the Country
With the cessation of domestic transportation, FedEx Redefines Its Operations in Brazil.
The company will maintain operations focused on international deliveries and supply chain, reinforcing the connection with global markets.
The repositioning marks a new phase for the company in the country, focusing on international logistics and specialized services.
