UPS has launched a new five-times-a-week freighter service linking China and South Korea that it claims will slice shipping times by at least one day.
The B767 service links high-tech exporters in Zhengzhou, the largest city in China’s Henan Province, to international air freight services to the U.S. and Europe out of Incheon.
Direct flights from Incheon to UPS’s intra-Asia hub in Shenzhen will also open new routes to Chinese shippers exporting across Asia, UPS said.
“With many manufacturing companies moving their facilities to inland China, there is an increasing need for logistics and transportation services in this fast-growing region,” said Richard Loi, president of UPS China.
