FedEx has expanded its trans-Pacific network with an additional 567,000 kilograms of weekly capacity between Asia Pacific and the United States. The new service uses three routing variations that connect the company’s Asia Pacific hub in Guangzhou and its sub-regional hubs in Shanghai, China, and Osaka, Japan, as well as its gateway in Clark, the Philippines, via Anchorage, Alaska, to the FedEx World Hub in Memphis, Tennessee.
Businesses in Southeast Asia, including Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, as well as businesses in Hong Kong, can access additional capacity to the United States through connections via Clark and Shanghai, according to FedEx.
Reportedly, the new Boeing 777F service operates five times a week. FedEx expects it to help customers in advanced industrial manufacturing, AI infrastructure and premium e-commerce obtain additional capacity for rising demand. The enhanced network also introduces a five-times-weekly connection for Asia Pacific customers to Dallas-Fort Worth via Anchorage, which FedEx describes as an additional gateway to a leading U.S. technology and data center market.
Capacity before peak season
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 added capacity comes 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. According to Chari, the additional flights strengthen links between Asia Pacific and key U.S. markets, including Dallas-Fort Worth, and support growth across semiconductors, technology and AI-driven industries.
