FedEx has added 567,000 kilograms of weekly capacity to its trans-Pacific network, expanding air cargo connections between Asia Pacific and the United States.
The extra capacity is being operated across three routing variations. These link 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, before flying via Anchorage, Alaska, to the FedEx World Hub in Memphis, Tennessee.
In practice, the routings allow shipments from several Southeast Asian markets to move through Clark or Shanghai before joining the trans-Pacific leg to Anchorage. The stated weekly capacity of 567,000 kilograms is equivalent to roughly 567 tonnes.
Network points in the expanded schedule
- Asia Pacific hub: Guangzhou
- Sub-regional hubs: Shanghai and Osaka
- Gateway: Clark, the Philippines
- US stopover: Anchorage, Alaska
- US hubs served: Memphis, Tennessee, and Dallas–Fort Worth, Texas
Markets and cargo segments in focus
Businesses in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, as well as Hong Kong, can access the additional capacity to the United States through connections via Clark and Shanghai.
The service uses Boeing 777F freighters and operates five times a week. FedEx said the capacity is expected to help customers in advanced industrial manufacturing, AI infrastructure and premium e-commerce handle rising demand.
A second US entry point
The enhanced network also adds a five-times-weekly connection for Asia Pacific customers to Dallas–Fort Worth via Anchorage. FedEx describes the Texas market as one of the leading US technology and data centre hubs, giving shippers an additional gateway alongside Memphis.
Timing ahead of peak season
Salil Chari, president of FedEx Asia Pacific, tied the expansion to year-end volumes. He said global supply chains are becoming increasingly interconnected, particularly across advanced manufacturing, AI-related industries and premium e-commerce.
Chari said the added 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.
He added that 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 did not specify in the announcement how the 567,000 kilograms of weekly capacity is distributed across the three routing variations or between the Memphis and Dallas–Fort Worth connections.
