Air cargo operator UPS has entered into an agreement with the Hong Kong Airport Authority to enhance the company’s operations in Asia with a new hub near the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge.
The new hub will serve as UPS Hong Kong’s main facility for processing and sorting imports, exports, and transshipments, to and from Europe, the US, and other parts of Asia.
The facility is expected to be completed by 2028 and will be built on a land parcel of 20,000 square metres with direct access to aircraft.
The fully automated facility is being designed to handle around 1 million tons of annual cargo capacity.
“Hong Kong continues to be an engine of growth and a critical part of UPS’s global smart logistics network,” said Daryl Tay, president of UPS North Asia District.
“This new hub, along with our existing operations at Shenzhen Bao An Airport, demonstrate our continued commitment to Asia. We will continue to invest in areas of our network that bring unique value to our customers and create additional growth opportunities for UPS.”
