FedEx has added 567,000 kilograms of weekly capacity to its trans-Pacific network, expanding air cargo connections between Asia Pacific and the United States, the company said.
The capacity operates through three routing variations linking FedEx's Asia Pacific hub in Guangzhou with its sub-regional hubs in Shanghai, China, and Osaka, Japan, and its gateway in Clark, the Philippines. From those points, freight moves via Anchorage, Alaska, to the FedEx World Hub in Memphis, Tennessee.
Customers in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, as well as Hong Kong, can access the additional US-bound capacity through connections via Clark and Shanghai, according to the company.
The new service is flown five times a week with Boeing 777F freighters. FedEx says it is expected to help businesses in advanced industrial manufacturing, AI infrastructure and premium e-commerce, which it identifies as segments with rising customer demand.
The enhanced network also adds a five-times-weekly connection for Asia Pacific customers to Dallas–Fort Worth via Anchorage, giving shippers another gateway into what FedEx describes as one of the leading US technology and data centre markets.
Salil Chari, president of FedEx Asia Pacific, said global supply chains are becoming increasingly interconnected, particularly across advanced manufacturing, AI-related industries and premium e-commerce. He said the additional capacity arrives at a critical time, as customers prepare for higher shipping volumes ahead of the year-end peak season.
Chari said businesses need reliable access to capacity, speed and global connectivity to serve customers and keep supply chains moving, and that the additional flights strengthen links between Asia Pacific and key US markets, including Dallas–Fort Worth, while supporting growth across semiconductors, technology and AI-driven industries.
