FedEx has expanded its trans-Pacific network by 567,000 kilograms of weekly capacity between Asia Pacific and the United States, according to the company. The added capacity runs through three routing variations linking its Guangzhou Asia Pacific hub and sub-regional hubs in Shanghai and Osaka with Clark in the Philippines, Anchorage in Alaska and the FedEx World Hub in Memphis, Tennessee.

The service uses Boeing 777F aircraft five times a week, FedEx said. It is expected to give businesses in advanced industrial manufacturing, AI infrastructure and premium e-commerce more capacity to support rising customer demand. Customers in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and Hong Kong can reach the United States through connections via Clark and Shanghai.

FedEx also introduced a five-times-weekly Asia Pacific connection to Dallas–Fort Worth via Anchorage. The company described the route as another gateway to a leading US technology and data center market.

Salil Chari, president of FedEx Asia Pacific, said global supply chains are becoming more interconnected, particularly in advanced manufacturing, AI-related industries and premium e-commerce. He said the extra capacity comes at a critical time as customers prepare for higher shipping volumes before the year-end peak season and need reliable capacity, speed and global connectivity. FedEx said the additional flights strengthen links between Asia Pacific and key US markets, including Dallas–Fort Worth, and support growth in semiconductors, technology and AI-driven industries.
