»»UPS To Construct a New Tansport Hub in Shanghai
International courier UPS will construct a transport hub in the eastern city of Shanghai, linking China to its global network.
The hub, to open next year, will operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, allowing for later pickup times in Shanghai, China’s financial and commercial centre, according to company. […]

Capacity will be ramped up further by the use of Boeing 747-400 freighter aircraft instead of the smaller MD-11 jets currently in use. […]
“The UPS International Air Hub will connect China to international markets faster and more efficiently,” Ken Torok, president of UPS Asia-Pacific, said at a signing ceremony. […] The 96,000-square metre hub is now under construction at the city’s main Pudong International Airport, which is itself undergoing a major expansion to allow it to handle 60 million passengers and 4.2 million tonnes of cargo annually by the end of this year.
