Mountain Hawk Express and Hayleys Advantis in a strategic alliance
Mountain Hawk Express, Licensee of Federal Express Corporation, announced a strategic alliance last week with Hayleys Advantis in a bid to reposition itself while enhancing the transportation portfolio of Hayleys through new synergies.
Hamdi Osman, Regional Vice President, FedEx Express for the Middle East Indian Subcontinent & Africa Region, said that FedEx, the world’s largest express transportation company, provides fast and reliable delivery to every U.S. address and to more than 220 countries and territories.

“FedEx Express uses a global air and ground network to speed delivery of time-sensitive shipments in one to three business days,” he said, adding that it connects more than 90 percent of the world’s GDP within one to three days.
He said the alliance will provide for the rationalisation of airport services through integrated operations with the Hayleys zonal operations within free trade zones and enable the local Fedex licensee to make later pickups and earlier deliveries to customers in these zones.

Mountain Hawk Express has been providing express transportation services for over 18 years and operates through a network of branches and agents established throughout Sri Lanka.

Mohan Pandithage, Managing Director, Hayleys Advantis said as a first step in repositioning the company in the Sri Lankan air express industry, they had changed the mindset of the staff by providing them with all the facilities needed to service the customers and provide the best value addition. “We have also moved into a state of the art office complex, in the heart of the city, and also simultaneously upgraded our facilities in branch offices,” he said.
