In the Asia-Pacific region, UPS Worldwide Express Freight has been extended as an origin and destination service in Indonesia, New Zealand and Vietnam, making the service available to and from a total of 13 markets within the region.

Outside of the Asia-Pacific region, countries adding origin service include: Chile, Greece, Israel, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Slovakia and Turkey while countries adding destination service include: Chile, Israel, Lichtenstein, Luxembourg, Saudi Arabia and Turkey.

“UPS Worldwide Express Freight is an air freight offering that has enabled many businesses in Asia to expand internationally and engage in global commerce,” said Jim O’Gara, president of South Asia District, UPS Asia Pacific Region. “We are pleased to further extend its reach within Asia, allowing businesses in Indonesia, New Zealand and Vietnam to leverage the speed, reliability and visibility that UPS offers for their urgent freight shipments. This service enables businesses of all sizes to better compete on a global scale while getting their products faster to more destinations than ever before.”

For customers in the industrial manufacturing, automotive, high-tech, retail and healthcare segments with palletised shipments over 70 kilogrammes, UPS now offers the guaranteed, day-definite and door-to-door service in more lanes than any other carrier, and with some of the fastest transit times in the industry. For shipments originating from Asia-Pacific, delivery can be as fast as overnight to cities within Asia and just three days to Europe and the Americas.

UPS Worldwide Express Freight™ service offers many of the same features as UPS's Worldwide Express® package service, including automated shipment preparation, online tracking and proactive notification technology. In addition, both express freight and package shipments are consolidated into one bill for easier reading by customers.
