FedEx has expanded its trans-Pacific network by 567,000 kilograms of weekly capacity between Asia Pacific and the United States, adding flights as customers prepare for the year-end peak season.
The capacity runs through three routing variations. They connect FedEx’s Asia Pacific hub in Guangzhou and its sub-regional hubs in Shanghai, China, and Osaka, Japan, with its gateway in Clark, the Philippines. The routings pass through Anchorage, Alaska, before reaching the FedEx World Hub in Memphis, Tennessee.
Guangzhou serves as the main regional hub in the arrangement, while Shanghai and Osaka act as sub-regional hubs and Clark as a gateway. Anchorage provides the trans-Pacific stop before Memphis, which FedEx describes as its world hub.
Connections for Southeast Asia and Hong Kong
Customers in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, as well as Hong Kong, can reach the additional U.S. capacity through connections via Clark and Shanghai, according to the company. For those shippers, the added lift is available through connecting routings rather than only through direct services to the United States.
FedEx said the new five-times-weekly Boeing 777F service is expected to support demand from advanced industrial manufacturing, AI infrastructure and premium e-commerce. The company identified those segments as users of the additional capacity as customer demand rises.
The network also adds a five-times-weekly connection for Asia Pacific customers to Dallas–Fort Worth via Anchorage. FedEx describes the Texas gateway as an additional route into one of the leading U.S. technology and data-center markets. That connection sits alongside the Memphis routing and gives Asia Pacific cargo another U.S. entry point.
Peak-season capacity
Salil Chari, president of FedEx Asia Pacific, said global supply chains are becoming more interconnected, particularly in advanced manufacturing, AI-related industries and premium e-commerce. He said the added capacity comes as customers prepare for higher shipping volumes ahead of the year-end peak.
Chari said businesses need reliable access to capacity, speed and global connectivity to serve customers and keep supply chains moving. According to him, the additional flights strengthen links between Asia Pacific and key U.S. markets, including Dallas–Fort Worth, and support growth in semiconductors, technology and AI-driven industries.
