UPS to build new hub at Hong Kong Airport
Global logistics services provider UPS and the Hong Kong Airport Authority have signed an agreement for the U.S. company to build a new hub at Hong Kong International Airport.
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 U.S., and other parts of Asia.
The hub 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 facility is being designed to handle close to 1 million tons of annual capacity, giving UPS and its customers around the world better and more reliable connectivity to Hong Kong, the Greater Bay Area1, and the growing Asia Pacific consumer market.

“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.”
A fully automated facility, the hub will be powered by state-of-the-art sorting and scanning technology and boasts environment-friendly features. This latest investment is part of UPS’s expansion plans to support Greater Bay Area growth, and better serve evolving customer needs and shipping demand across its air network. It also allows UPS to optimize its existing operations in Hong Kong by streamlining some smaller and separately located facilities.
In recent years, UPS has made numerous network and facility enhancements across Asia, including Singapore, Japan, China, Vietnam, South Korea, and the Philippines.
