UPS has announced a new express air freight service, UPS Worldwide Express Freight, for urgent, time sensitive and high value international heavyweight shipments. This new service is an extension of the UPS Worldwide Express package portfolio.

Customers now can ship pallets over 70 kg as easily as packages exclusively within UPS’s global air network from 37 origins to 41 destination countries. UPS Worldwide Express Freight service offers many of the same features as UPS’s Worldwide Express package service, including automated shipment, online tracking and proactive notification technology. This service is to be rolled out across Asia Pacific, covering Australia, India, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand.

“With the US and Europe being Asia’s largest export markets and given promising developments within Asia, the launch of the new service presents immense opportunities for businesses,” said Brendan Canavan, President, UPS Asia Pacific, in a statement.
