UPS Adds New Global Flight
UPS Inc. said Friday it will launch a new “around-the-world” flight this summer to further enhance service between Singapore and markets in the Middle East, Europe and the United States.
The new flight will allow UPS to enhance service by improving pickup times and providing more airlift in response to customers’, UPS said in a statement.
As an example, the company said that customers shipping from Singapore to Europe and Mumbai, India, would gain a later pickup time of 8 p.m. each day.
Starting in July, UPS will operate five additional weekly flights using MD-11 aircraft. Each week, the aircraft will connect Singapore to major trading markets in Europe, the Middle East and the United States by flying from the company's European air hub in Cologne, Germany.
UPS is ranked No. 1 on the Transport Topics 100 listing of U.S. and Canadian for-hire carriers.
