FedEx has added 567,000 kilograms of weekly air cargo capacity to its trans-Pacific network, increasing lift between Asia Pacific and the United States as customers prepare for the year-end peak shipping season.
The extra capacity runs through three routing variations. FedEx said these connect its Asia Pacific hub in Guangzhou and its sub-regional hubs in Shanghai and Osaka with its gateway in Clark, the Philippines, before routing via Anchorage, Alaska, to the FedEx World Hub in Memphis, Tennessee.
Hubs used in the new rotations
- Guangzhou: FedEx Asia Pacific hub
- Shanghai and Osaka: sub-regional hubs
- Clark, Philippines: gateway handling Southeast Asian traffic
- Anchorage, Alaska: stop between the Asian origins and the US hub
- Memphis, Tennessee: FedEx World Hub
The capacity is provided by a Boeing 777F service operating five times a week. FedEx expects the flights to serve demand from advanced industrial manufacturing, AI infrastructure and premium e-commerce customers.
According to the company, businesses in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, as well as Hong Kong, can reach the United States with the additional capacity through connections at Clark and Shanghai.
The five weekly rotations give the corridor a published frequency, with Anchorage acting as the stop between the Asian origins and the US hub before onward connection to Memphis.
Dallas–Fort Worth added as an entry point
The enhanced network also introduces a new five-times-weekly connection for Asia Pacific customers to Dallas–Fort Worth via Anchorage. FedEx describes the Texas destination as an additional gateway to one of the leading technology and data centre markets in the United States.
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 added capacity arrives at a critical time as customers prepare for higher shipping volumes ahead of the peak season, and that businesses need reliable access to capacity, speed and global connectivity to keep supply chains moving.
Chari added that the flights strengthen links between Asia Pacific and key US markets, including Dallas–Fort Worth, and support growth across semiconductors, technology and AI-driven industries.
Taken together, the announcement combines additional frequency on Asia Pacific–US connections with a new US entry point for the region's shippers.
FedEx did not disclose the previous capacity on the affected routings, or how the 567,000 kilograms are distributed across the three routing variations and the Dallas–Fort Worth service.
