UPS Wins Tentative Go-Ahead for Expanded Access to China

Posted by | Feb 22, 2005 | |

The decision, tripling UPS’s access to China over the next year, will provide significant opportunity for UPS to continue growing its business within the region while providing customers with service in all segments of the market – from general freight to express delivery. UPS currently flies from the United States to China six times per week. Today’s tentative decision grants UPS six additional frequencies to Shanghai immediately and six new frequencies to Guangzhou next year. The new frequencies will allow UPS to connect Shanghai to Japan for the first time with non-stop service, and the 2005 frequencies will allow UPS to offer non-stop service from the US to Guangzhou for the first time.
