FedEx has expanded its trans-Pacific network with 567,000 kilograms of additional weekly capacity between Asia Pacific and the United States, adding air cargo routings that link its hubs in Guangzhou, Shanghai, Osaka and Clark to its World Hub in Memphis, Tennessee.
The new service runs through three routing variations. These connect the FedEx Asia Pacific hub in Guangzhou and its sub-regional hubs in Shanghai, China, and Osaka, Japan, together with its gateway in Clark, the Philippines, via Anchorage, Alaska, to the FedEx World Hub in Memphis.
Which markets gain access
Businesses in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, as well as Hong Kong, can use the additional capacity to the United States through connections via Clark and Shanghai, according to the company. Those two points act as the connecting points for the Southeast Asian and Hong Kong traffic named in the announcement.
Five-times-weekly 777F flights
The capacity is carried by a Boeing 777F service operating five times a week. FedEx said the flights are expected to help businesses in advanced industrial manufacturing, AI infrastructure and premium e-commerce obtain additional capacity to support rising customer demand.
A second connection, also five times weekly, links Asia Pacific customers to Dallas–Fort Worth via Anchorage. FedEx describes Dallas–Fort Worth as one of the leading technology and data centre markets in the United States and presents the link as an additional gateway to that market.
Fixed points on the routing
The three routings share two fixed points in the announcement: Anchorage, Alaska, through which Asia Pacific traffic passes, and Memphis, Tennessee, the US World Hub it reaches. Clark and Shanghai are named as the connecting points for Southeast Asian and Hong Kong shippers, while the Dallas–Fort Worth service also runs via Anchorage and adds a second US destination alongside Memphis.
Timing ahead of peak season
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.
Chari said businesses need reliable access to capacity, speed and global connectivity to serve their customers and keep supply chains moving. In his account, the additional flights strengthen links between Asia Pacific and key US markets including Dallas–Fort Worth, and support growth across semiconductors, technology and AI-driven industries.
The announcement sets out network structure and frequency but not the number of aircraft assigned, the investment involved or volumes committed by customers. It also does not publish schedules, city-pair transit times or pricing for the added capacity. The demand outlook is presented as the company's expectation for advanced manufacturing, AI-related industries and premium e-commerce, and as preparation for the year-end peak.
