UPS awarded six additional flights to Hong Kong
The U.S. Department of Transportation has awarded UPS the authority to operate six additional flights between Hong Kong and its intra-Asia air hub in the Philippines via Singapore, expanding capacity between three important trade markets.
The new authority will enable UPS to provide twice daily service between Hong Kong and the Philippines, as well as direct air service between the key markets of Hong Kong and Singapore. The new flights will begin in October.
“This new authority is important to UPS and its customers because it allows us to better synchronize a growing volume of trade in one of the world’s fastest growing regions,” said David Abney, president of UPS International. “The new flights will strengthen UPS’s intra-Asia air network while allowing us to accelerate the flow of goods into and out of Asia. In the process, we also will extend air routes from Singapore and the Philippines to Hong Kong and the thriving Pearl River Delta, a key manufacturing region.”
With the additions, UPS now holds the authority for 18 weekly flights beyond Hong Kong.
