FedEx adds 567,000kg of weekly trans-Pacific capacity

Three new routings link Guangzhou, Shanghai, Osaka and Clark to Memphis via Anchorage, with a new five-times-weekly gateway to Dallas–Fort Worth.

FedEx has added 567,000 kilograms of weekly capacity between Asia Pacific and the United States, expanding its trans-Pacific network through three routing variations.

The additional capacity runs through the carrier'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 Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, as well as Hong Kong, can reach the United States on the added capacity through connections via Clark and Shanghai.

The service is operated five times a week with Boeing 777F freighters. FedEx expects the capacity to support customers in advanced industrial manufacturing, AI infrastructure and premium e-commerce as demand rises.

The enhanced network also introduces a five-times-weekly connection for Asia Pacific customers to Dallas–Fort Worth via Anchorage, providing another gateway to 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 added capacity comes at a critical time as customers prepare for higher shipping volumes ahead of the year-end peak season, and that businesses need reliable access to capacity, speed and global connectivity to keep supply chains moving.

Chari said 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.
