FedEx has added 567,000 kilograms of weekly capacity to its trans-Pacific network, expanding air cargo links between Asia Pacific and the United States, the company said.
The capacity runs through three routing variations that link FedEx's Asia Pacific hub in Guangzhou, its sub-regional hubs in Shanghai, China, and Osaka, Japan, and its gateway in Clark, the Philippines. From Asia, the routings pass via Anchorage, Alaska, to the FedEx World Hub in Memphis, Tennessee.
Businesses in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, as well as in Hong Kong, can use the additional capacity to reach the United States through connections via Clark and Shanghai, according to the company.
The service operates five times a week with Boeing 777F freighters. FedEx said the capacity is intended to support customers in advanced industrial manufacturing, AI infrastructure and premium e-commerce, where it expects demand to keep rising.
The enhanced network also introduces a five-times-weekly connection for Asia Pacific customers to Dallas–Fort Worth via Anchorage. The company described the link as an additional gateway to one of the leading technology and data centre markets in the United States.
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 extra 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.
Chari said 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.
FedEx tied the timing of the increase to the year-end peak, when shippers are preparing for higher volumes.
The three variations differ in which Asian points feed the trans-Pacific leg before it reaches Anchorage and Memphis, spanning hubs in China, Japan and the Philippines.
The 567,000 kilograms describe weekly capacity, equivalent to 567 tonnes, rather than freight already carried. The statement did not break the figure down by routing or by the Dallas–Fort Worth connection, and it did not name specific customers or volumes.
