UPS offers weekly Hong Kong to Guam air freight service

UPS is launching a weekly direct flight from Guam to Hong Kong starting in June as it expands its Asia services.


The 747-400 flight is the final part of a year-long, intra-Asia enhancement project, which started last May with the opening of a UPS hub at Shenzhen airport. The million-square-foot facility, which replaced the former hub at the Clark Air Base in the Philippines, cost US$180 million and can handle 18,000 pieces an hour.


"The new Guam flight will offer service to the express package, military and forwarder communities and provide capacity for the burgeoning Asia export market," said Derek Woodward, president of Asia Pacific. "Additionally, the recently announced expansion of the US Marine base on Guam is increasing requests for UPS services there."
