FedEx has added 567,000 kilograms of weekly capacity to its trans-Pacific network, deepening air cargo links between Asia Pacific and the United States as shippers prepare for the year-end peak season.
The extra lift is delivered through three routing variations. These connect the company's Asia Pacific hub in Guangzhou and its sub-regional hubs in Shanghai and Osaka with the FedEx gateway at Clark in the Philippines, then run via Anchorage, Alaska, to the FedEx World Hub in Memphis, Tennessee.
Where the capacity lands
- Guangzhou — FedEx's Asia Pacific hub and the anchor point of the added trans-Pacific routings.
- Shanghai and Osaka — sub-regional hubs that feed traffic into the expanded network.
- Clark, Philippines — gateway through which Southeast Asian and Hong Kong shippers reach the United States, with a parallel option via Shanghai.
- Anchorage, Alaska, and Memphis, Tennessee — the Alaska stop on the way to the FedEx World Hub.
Businesses in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, as well as in Hong Kong, can draw on the additional capacity to the United States through connections via Clark and Shanghai. FedEx said the space is aimed at advanced industrial manufacturing, artificial intelligence infrastructure and premium e-commerce, where it reports rising customer demand. The capacity is flown with a Boeing 777F service operating five times a week.
Dallas–Fort Worth added as a gateway
The enlarged 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 technology and data centre hubs in the United States, and the routing provides an additional gateway into it.
Together, the routings extend the reach of the hub-and-gateway structure FedEx describes across both the Memphis lane and the newer Dallas–Fort Worth connection.
Timed for the 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 higher shipping volumes ahead of the year-end peak, and that businesses need reliable 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.
FedEx's announcement set out the weekly frequencies and routings; further operational detail was not disclosed.
