UPS Sets Alliance for India Expansion
UPS Inc. said Thursday its UPS Jetair Express unit has set a strategic alliance with AFL that will significantly expand accessibility to UPS services in India while providing export capabilities to AFL.
The alliance will take effect on Jan. 1, when all AFL WiZ Express Centres across the country will promote UPS’ international express delivery service to customers in India.
UPS Jetair Express will continue to operate as an international express delivery service provider connecting India with global markets, while AFL will continue to function as a domestic service provider connecting businesses across India, the company said.
The strategic alliance also allows AFL to pick up international export shipments on behalf of UPS destined for the more than 200 countries and territories that UPS serves.
UPS access points for customers with international express delivery requirements will exponentially increase to more than 200 locations in India, it said.
UPS ranked No. 1 on the Transport Topics 100 listing of U.S. and Canadian for-hire carriers.
