FedEx has expanded its trans-Pacific network with an additional 567,000 kilograms of weekly capacity between Asia Pacific and the United States, adding freighter lift as customers prepare for the year-end peak shipping season.
The Federal Express Corporation said the capacity runs through three routing variations that 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. From those points the routings continue via Anchorage, Alaska, to the FedEx World Hub in Memphis, Tennessee.
Access via Clark and Shanghai
Businesses in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, as well as in Hong Kong, can reach the additional US capacity through connections via Clark and Shanghai, according to the company.
The added service is a Boeing 777F operation flown five times a week. FedEx said it is expected to help businesses in advanced industrial manufacturing, AI infrastructure and premium e-commerce secure capacity to support rising customer demand.
New Dallas–Fort Worth connection
The enhanced network also introduces a new five-times-weekly connection for Asia Pacific customers to Dallas–Fort Worth via Anchorage. FedEx described the link as an additional gateway to one of the leading technology and data center markets in the United States.
Capacity timed for 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 additional capacity arrives 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 serve customers and keep supply chains moving.
According to Chari, the extra flights strengthen links between Asia Pacific and key US markets including Dallas–Fort Worth, while supporting growth across semiconductors, technology and AI-driven industries.
The announcement did not specify how the 567,000 kilograms of weekly capacity is divided across the three routing variations, nor the terms under which the additional flights will operate beyond the stated weekly frequency.
