UPS opens $80m cargo hub at Clark airport
The 30,000 sq m facility is intended to expand UPS air cargo capacity and speed international shipments through the Philippines.
UPS has officially opened a logistics hub at Clark International Airport in the Philippines, with investment of more than $80 million. The 30,000 sq m complex is 15 times larger than the facility it replaces. UPS says average daily volume is 46,000 packages, while maximum processing capacity reaches 15,000 packages per hour. The hub is designed for healthcare, high-tech and manufacturing shipments.
The company says the hub handles 170 flight segments per week into and out of Clark, connecting Asia Pacific, India, Europe and the United States, with delivery in as little as one business day. UPS cites improvements of up to two days for eastern China and other Asia Pacific markets, as well as between India and several Southeast Asian markets. For the Philippines, it lists later pickup cutoff times and earlier deliveries in regional cities.
The facility has three refrigeration and freezer units maintaining temperatures from -20 to 25 degrees Celsius, plus UPS Premier RFID technology for priority handling and visibility of sensitive healthcare shipments. Automated sorting can process up to 9,000 small packages per hour. Electric ground servicing equipment is used on the ramp. The opening created nearly 600 jobs.
