New cargo flight takes off between East Midlands and Kentucky
UPS has launched a new flight between East Midlands Airport and Kentucky in the US.
Departing from the company’s Worldport air hub in Louisville, the flight serves Dublin and East Midlands Airport in the UK before returning to the US carrying healthcare and small package goods between the three countries.
Rick Fletcher, president, UPS UK, Ireland and Nordics, said: “This investment gives our customers in the UK and Ireland more choice and convenience when finding new markets. Our air network is a crucial tool for shippers, especially small and medium-sized businesses, that are looking to grow internationally.”
The Boeing 767 flight operates every weekday.
UPS is making significant investment in its capabilities within the UK and Ireland and recently opened a new sortation and delivery centre in Telford. Its Dublin healthcare facility is also expected to open in early 2024.
