The Hindu Business Line : UPS adds flights to expand operations

IN its bid to expand operations, particularly in Asia, UPS, the US-based world leader in express services, has launched three additional round-the-world flights. Now UPS operates nine weekly flights to connect the globe.

A UPS aircraft departs its international hub at Louisville, Kentucky, US, to fly to Cologne, Dubai, Taipei and then arriving at the Asian hub at Clark in the Philippines.

The aircraft then repeats the route in reverse from Asia to the US with an additional stop at Mumbai.

The three additional round-the-world flights are believed to have come in the wake of the US Transport Department's authorisation asking UPS to expand its operations in China. In Hong Kong and Taiwan, UPS is to open two new centres.

Earlier, it opened a shipping centre in Taipei and brought its operations in Japan under a wholly-owned subsidiary.
