The flight, operated with one of UPS\u2019s new 747-8F freighters, is part of the build out of UPS\u2019s smart global logistics network and takes place as the company plans for its role as official logistics provider for Expo 2020 Dubai.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe UAE trades with all 50 U.S. states and has grown to become the U.S.\u2019s largest export destination in the Middle East. Dubai\u2019s importance as a global trade hub increases every day \u2013 and we\u2019re now getting there a day faster with our small package express carrier and cargo offerings,\u201d said Jim Barber, President, UPS International. \u201cGrowth potential is great for companies accessing the UAE and other rapidly developing industrial and commercial sectors in the region. Our new flight is another example of how UPS\u2019s smart global logistics network, which carries three percent of the world\u2019s GDP every day, constantly evolves to service increasing international trade demands.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2533 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/UPS_US-UAE-Flight-Image.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1328\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/UPS_US-UAE-Flight-Image.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/UPS_US-UAE-Flight-Image-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/UPS_US-UAE-Flight-Image-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/UPS_US-UAE-Flight-Image-1024x680.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UPS (NYSE:UPS) is launching a daily non-stop flight from its Worldport global air hub in Louisville, KY., to Dubai, UAE, reducing time-in-transit between the United States and key destinations in the Middle East by a full business day.
