UPS expands in Japan
WASHINGTON, Sept 13 (WorldACD) - UPS Inc. has won the right to run six daily flights between the United States and Nagoya, Japan, thanks to an agreement the U.S. Department of Transportation has hammered out with Japan.
UPS, based in Atlanta, already has daily service to Tokyo and Osaka, Japan. Nagoya, the fourth-largest city in Japan, has UPS' opportunities in Asia, allowing it to connect these flights to its new air hub in Shanghai, China.
UPS has operated in Japan since 1987 and moved toward a wholly owned international express delivery operation in 2004. The company's operations cover 15 metropolitan areas, offering express delivery, customs brokerage and supply chain management services. UPS currently offers 47 weekly flights to and from Tokyo and Osaka.
