FedEx has expanded its trans-Pacific network by 567,000 kilograms of weekly capacity between Asia Pacific and the United States, the company said. The addition is expected to give customers more air freight options as they prepare for the year-end peak season.
The new service operates 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.
The capacity increase is tied to FedEx’s Asia Pacific hub structure, which combines a main hub in Guangzhou with sub-regional hubs in Shanghai and Osaka and a gateway in Clark.
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, according to FedEx.
Five weekly 777F services
The service uses Boeing 777F freighters and operates five times a week. FedEx expects the capacity to support advanced industrial manufacturing, AI infrastructure and premium e-commerce, three segments where it says customer demand is rising.
The enhanced network also introduces a five-times-weekly connection for Asia Pacific customers to Dallas–Fort Worth via Anchorage. FedEx calls the route an additional gateway to one of the leading technology and data-center markets in the United States.
Capacity ahead of peak
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.
Chari said the extra capacity comes at a critical time, as customers prepare for higher shipping volumes ahead of the year-end peak. He said businesses need reliable access to capacity, speed and global connectivity to serve customers and keep supply chains moving.
According to Chari, the additional flights strengthen links between Asia Pacific and key US markets, including Dallas–Fort Worth. He said they also support growth across semiconductors, technology and AI-driven industries.
The expansion adds weekly frequency and route options on a network linking Asia Pacific production and e-commerce flows with US gateways. FedEx is positioning the capacity around sectors that require fast, reliable air transport.
The new flights are scheduled five times a week on both the Memphis and Dallas–Fort Worth connections, giving shippers more frequent access to US markets during the peak period.
The figure covers additional capacity between Asia Pacific and the United States, with the three routings providing different combinations of origin, gateway and US destination.
