The Federal Express Corporation has expanded its trans-Pacific network with 567,000 kilograms of additional weekly capacity between Asia Pacific and the United States, capacity the company is positioning ahead of the year-end peak shipping season.

The lift is delivered through three routing variations that connect FedEx's Asia Pacific hub in Guangzhou with its sub-regional hubs in Shanghai, China, and Osaka, Japan, and with its gateway in Clark, the Philippines. Flights then run via Anchorage, Alaska, to the FedEx World Hub in Memphis, Tennessee.

Access for Southeast Asia and Hong Kong

Businesses in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, as well as Hong Kong, can reach the United States with the additional capacity through connections via Clark and Shanghai.

Five 777F rotations a week

The new service is flown five times a week with Boeing 777F freighters. FedEx said the capacity is expected to help businesses in advanced industrial manufacturing, AI infrastructure and premium e-commerce secure additional lift to meet rising customer demand.

Dallas–Fort Worth added as a gateway

The enhanced network also introduces a new five-times-weekly connection for Asia Pacific customers to Dallas–Fort Worth via Anchorage, giving shippers an additional gateway to one of the leading technology and data center markets in the United States.

Timed ahead of 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 arrives at a critical time as customers prepare for increased shipping volumes ahead of the year-end peak season, and that businesses need reliable access to capacity, speed and global connectivity to serve customers and keep supply chains moving.

Chari said the additional flights strengthen links between Asia Pacific and key U.S. markets, including Dallas–Fort Worth, while supporting growth across semiconductors, technology and AI-driven industries.
