UPS ACCELERATES INTRA-ASIA TRADE WITH CAPACITY AND SPEED ENHANCEMENTS TO ITS AIR NETWORK

• 5 weekly flights from Shenzhen-Sydney boost capacity on high-growth trade lane
• Transit time from Asia and Europe to Australia is now one day faster
• Next-day delivery and doubled capacity from Vietnam to Mainland China and Hong Kong SAR

SINGAPORE, Sept. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- UPS (NYSE: UPS) today announced strategic enhancements to its intra-Asia air network to help businesses across Asia Pacific reach new markets with greater speed and reliability. These upgrades come as intra-Asia trade continues to grow, fueled by strong regional demand and high-growth sectors such as healthcare, technology, industrial manufacturing and automotive.

"We continue to see strong momentum across Asia Pacific with intra-Asia trade staying resilient, even as businesses navigate an evolving global trade landscape," said Wilfredo Ramos, president, UPS Asia Pacific. "UPS is helping its customers strengthen their supply chains through greater flexibility, faster delivery, and deeper regional connectivity. Our network is designed to give our customers the agility, reliability and assurance they need to grow confidently in a dynamic region."

More Frequent Flights Between Asia and Australia

Central to the enhancements is the expansion of UPS's direct flight between its intra-Asia hub in Shenzhen, China, and Australia's Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport. Now operating five times a week, this route offers over four times more capacity via UPS's browntail network, improving delivery frequency from major Asian markets to Australia.  

Delivery time from China Mainland, Hong Kong SAR, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, South Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam to Australia is one day faster, now two business days, with next-business-day delivery available for Friday pickups. In addition, exports to major Asia markets and imports from Europe will now arrive one day earlier.

These enhancements help Australian businesses to expand and reach new markets with speed and confidence. They also provide faster access to critical goods such as pharmaceuticals, medical devices and specialized components for machinery and automobiles.

Upgraded Hanoi–Shenzhen Route to Support Demand

UPS has also enhanced its Hanoi–Shenzhen route by deploying larger Boeing 747 freighters, doubling weekly cargo capacity to 570 tons. The upgrade supports growing demand from Vietnam to China Mainland, Hong Kong SAR, Japan, Malaysia, and Thailand.

UPS customers in Vietnam can now benefit from next-business-day deliveries to China Mainland and Hong Kong SAR.

Continued Investment Across Asia Pacific

These enhancements follow other recent UPS investments in Asia Pacific. In Malaysia and Japan, UPS enhanced delivery capabilities through a new facility in Senai, Johor and expanded services from the Kyushu region to help businesses reach international markets.

UPS continues to invest in its smart global network and logistics solutions to help customers of all sizes optimize their global supply chains for success.

UPS ACCELERATES INTRA-ASIA TRADE WITH CAPACITY AND SPEED ENHANCEMENTS TO ITS AIR NETWORK

New global report reveals how security technology is driving business efficiency, ROI, and data-driven decision-making for business leaders.

HAMILTON, New Zealand, Jan. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Security technology is no longer just about protection. According to Gallagher Security's newly released 2026 Security Industry Trends Report, systems once designed primarily to manage risk are now quietly enabling smarter operations, better workplace experiences, and stronger business outcomes.

Drawing on global insights, the report shows how organizations are unlocking value, return on investment, and actionable intelligence from security infrastructure already in place.

Security as invisible infrastructure

From office doors to behind-the-scenes data, security technology has become a powerful force shaping how modern organizations operate.

The report reveals that security systems are being used to do more than keep people and property safe. As organizations look to work more effectively, these systems are helping leaders understand how people interact with spaces, where time and resources are gained or lost, and how everyday decisions affect performance - often without employees noticing.

"What's striking is how invisible this shift has been," says Mark Junge, Chief Executive of Gallagher Security. "Security sits quietly in the background of daily work life, yet it's increasingly helping organizations reduce friction and make better-informed decisions."

From operational necessity to business insight

The report highlights a growing realization that security has become a valuable source of business insight. By integrating security systems with other tools and analyzing the data, organizations are improving workflows, strengthening compliance, and supporting more flexible ways of working.

A key signal of this shift is an increased focus on return on investment. Rather than viewing security purely as a cost, organizations are assessing how these systems contribute to measurable outcomes, including time saved, smoother operations, and progress toward sustainability goals.

Security moves into the boardroom

As the role of security expands, so too does who is involved in security decisions. Once managed largely within specialist teams, security is now part of broader discussions involving IT, finance, facilities, and executive leadership, reflecting how deeply these systems are embedded in modern operations.

"The conversation has moved beyond preventing problems," Junge adds. "Security is now about enabling businesses by providing the data, confidence, and flexibility needed to adapt and perform."

The Gallagher Security Industry Trends Report 2026 is now available, offering a behind-the-scenes look at how security technology is shaping modern business.
