Posted by | Jul 15, 2003 | |

United Parcel Service [UPS] has announced plans to invest USD100 million to link its Hong Kong and Cologne hubs, giving European customers improved access to the Asia-Pacific region. The move would add a major spine to UPS’ global network, and boost Hong Kong’s status as a key Asian gateway.

Pending regulatory approval of a second tranche of aviation rights, UPS is preparing to establish a direct air link between Hong Kong and its European hub in Cologne, Germany.

A threat to the operations of air cargo and express carriers was lifted after a landmark court ruling that night flights do not violate the human rights of people living near airports. Great Britain won an appeal against a ruling by the European Court of Human Rights in 2001 that flights at London Heathrow between 11:30 p.m. and 6 a.m. had violated the rights of people living under the flight path of the world’s busiest international airport by disturbing their sleep. The ruling raised fears of bans across Europe that would hit all-cargo airlines and express carriers like DHL, United Parcel Service and FedEx Corp., which mostly fly at night.
