FedEx has expanded its trans-Pacific air cargo network with 567,000 kilograms of additional weekly capacity between Asia Pacific and the United States. The company said the new capacity is delivered through three routing variations. These connect its Asia Pacific hub in Guangzhou and its sub-regional hubs in Shanghai, China, and Osaka, Japan, with its gateway in Clark, the Philippines, before routing via Anchorage, Alaska, to the FedEx World Hub in Memphis, Tennessee.
Businesses across Southeast Asia, including Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, as well as Hong Kong, can access the additional capacity to the United States through connections via Clark and Shanghai. FedEx said the expansion is intended to support rising customer demand and provide additional capacity for shippers in those markets to reach US destinations. The additional capacity is weekly lift on the Asia Pacific–US air cargo lane.
What the expansion includes
- An additional 567,000 kilograms of weekly capacity between Asia Pacific and the United States.
- Three routing variations linking Guangzhou, Shanghai, Osaka, Clark, Anchorage and Memphis.
- A five-times-weekly Boeing 777F service aimed at advanced industrial manufacturing, AI infrastructure and premium e-commerce.
- A new five-times-weekly Asia Pacific–Dallas–Fort Worth connection via Anchorage.
The new service uses a Boeing 777F aircraft and operates five times a week. FedEx said the capacity is expected to help businesses in advanced industrial manufacturing, AI infrastructure and premium e-commerce. The company linked the additional lift to rising customer demand in those segments, which it highlighted as the customer groups the capacity is designed to serve.
The enhanced network also introduces a five-times-weekly connection for Asia Pacific customers to Dallas–Fort Worth via Anchorage. FedEx described Dallas–Fort Worth as one of the leading technology and data center markets in the United States. The link adds another US gateway for Asia Pacific freight, alongside the Memphis routing, and both routings use Anchorage as the trans-Pacific stop.
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 comes at a critical time as customers prepare for increased 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. He added 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.
