FedEx has added 567,000 kilograms of weekly airfreight capacity between Asia Pacific and the United States, widening its trans-Pacific network as customers prepare for the year-end peak shipping season.
The additional lift is delivered through three routing variations. They connect the company's Asia Pacific hub in Guangzhou with sub-regional hubs in Shanghai and Osaka, and with its gateway in Clark, the Philippines; from Clark and Shanghai, freight moves through Anchorage, Alaska, to the FedEx World Hub in Memphis, Tennessee.
Aircraft and frequency
According to FedEx, the new service is flown with Boeing 777F freighters five times a week. The added capacity sits alongside existing connections through the same hubs, extending onward options into the US hub network rather than creating a separate lane.
Which markets gain access
Businesses in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, as well as in Hong Kong, can reach the United States with the extra capacity by connecting through Clark and Shanghai, the company said.
FedEx expects the capacity to serve customers in advanced industrial manufacturing, AI infrastructure and premium e-commerce, segments it identifies as facing rising demand for airfreight space.
New Dallas–Fort Worth gateway
The expanded network also introduces a five-times-weekly connection for Asia Pacific customers to Dallas–Fort Worth via Anchorage. FedEx describes that market as one of the leading US technology and data centre regions, giving shippers an additional entry point alongside the Memphis hub.
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 argued that businesses need dependable access to capacity, speed and global connectivity to serve their own customers and keep supply chains moving.
Chari added that the additional flights strengthen links between Asia Pacific and key US markets, including Dallas–Fort Worth, and support growth across semiconductors, technology and AI-driven industries.
The measures set out scheduled capacity and the markets it is intended to serve. How much of that space is taken up will depend on demand from manufacturing, technology and e-commerce shippers over the coming peak months.
