UPS upgrades Hong Kong-US capacity
United Parcel Service will be replacing one of its daily 747-200 freighter flights between Hong Kong and the U.S. with an MD-11, beginning July 21.
While the MD-11 is a smaller aircraft, UPS says it will be able to get a higher payload because the MD-11 is a more efficient aircraft. It can fly direct from Hong Kong to Anchorage, avoiding a refueling stop in South Korea.
Spokesman Mark Giuffre said the MD-11, one of three now in the UPS fleet, will have a payload of about 155,000 pounds, compared to 115,000 pounds on the 747 if it were to fly non-stop from Hong Kong to Anchorage. From Anchorage, the aircraft will fly to UPS’s main hub in Louisville. Return flights will stop in Anchorage and Incheon before landing in Hong Kong.
